  "account": "Trinamool Congress MP Dola Sen lodged a police complaint on Tuesday alleging an attempted knife attack on former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The incident occurred after an allegedly intoxicated intruder, identified as Tannishtha Saha, breached security perimeters surrounding Banerjee's residence. Saha, reported to be a civic volunteer and drug addict, allegedly approached Banerjee in a violent manner, used abusive language, and attempted to strike her with a knife. Sen's complaint under Section 173 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) detailed the security breach and the woman's aggressive approach. TMC national spokesperson Nilanjan Das expressed concern over the state of law and order in West Bengal, questioning the BJP government's handling of the incident. Das questioned the safety measures in place for a Z-plus category security protectee. The TMC accused the BJP administration of a possible larger conspiracy behind the incident.",
