TMC's Abhishek claims residence attacked by BJP

Kolkata: TMC National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee alleged on Saturday that his residence was targeted by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) operatives in the early hours of Friday. In a post on social media platform X, Banerjee accused opposition workers, the Kolkata Police, and higher judicial bodies of involvement. He stated that BJP goons broke into his house at 2 AM, after he had released a reconnaissance video earlier that morning.

Banerjee criticized the Calcutta High Court and the Supreme Court for their inaction, stating, "Thank you, Calcutta High Court and the Supreme Court of India, for remaining mute spectators while all this unfolds." He mentioned that he would upload videos shortly. Earlier, on Friday, the TMC leader had claimed that unidentified individuals had been monitoring his residence and office for two days.

When confronted, the individuals asserted they were police officials. Banerjee questioned the actions of the Kolkata police, demanding an immediate and comprehensive investigation into what he described as a potential conspiracy.
