Ghosh detailed the incident in a video statement for ANI, stating he was on his way to a program when attackers smashed his car window and tried to force him out. He credited his survival to security personnel who drew their weapons. Ghosh took refuge at Narkeldanga Police Station and planned to file a formal complaint. The damaged vehicle was also delivered to the station. Ghosh blamed the BJP for orchestrating the attacks and criticized the police for their inaction. He vowed not to be deterred by the alleged assaults, asserting he would not be forced to change his political stance. The police has not commented on Ghosh's allegations.",
