Knife-Wielding Woman Allegedly Approaches Mamata Banerjee Near Residence, TMC Alleges Security Breach

On Tuesday evening, Trinamool Congress (TMC) spokesperson Rajya Sabha MP Dola Sen reported that a woman, claiming to be a civic volunteer, attempted to attack former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee with a knife near her residence in Kalighat, south Kolkata. According to Sen, the incident occurred at 6 PM when the woman, identified as Tannishtha Saha, allegedly tried to murder Banerjee, a Z+ category protected individual.

TMC member Nilanjan Das tweeted about the disturbing incident, questioning the state of law and order under the Suvendu Adhikari administration.

TMC member Saket Gokhale expressed shock at the news, questioning whether this was a planned conspiracy by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) against Banerjee, who is a three-time Chief Minister of West Bengal. Gokhale also inquired whether the police would take action, speculating whether the incident was sanctioned by Home Minister Amit Shah. A complaint has been filed at the Kalighat police station.
