TMC Alleges BJP Plot Behind Kunal Ghosh Car Attack

Trinamool leader Asit Majumdar described it as a pre-planned attack rather than a spontaneous protest.Uttarpara BJP MLA Dipanjan Chakraborty rejected the Trinamool allegation and described what happened as a spontaneous public response. Neither side’s claim about responsibility had been independently established.Banerjee also accused the BJP of involvement and alleged that her supporters were being prevented from reaching the Srirampur meeting.

The incident came as Banerjee was scheduled to address a political gathering at Sreerampore Court Maidan in Hooghly. The Calcutta High Court had earlier permitted the meeting with restrictions, including a maximum attendance of 1,000 people.The Kunal Ghosh car attack has added another point of dispute between the rival political camps in West Bengal. Police identification of those responsible and any subsequent investigation will be central to establishing what happened and who organised or participated in the incident.
