The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has alleged that a woman attempted to attack former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee outside her residence in Kalighat, Kolkata.
According to party workers, the incident occurred when Banerjee stepped out to inaugurate a Durga Puja pandal. The woman allegedly tugged at the Chief Minister’s saree, and a knife was reportedly found hidden in her saree.
TMC workers and local leaders allegedly apprehended the woman and handed her over to the Kalighat police for further action.
The alleged incident has raised concerns among local TMC leaders over security arrangements outside the Chief Minister’s residence.
Further details about the woman’s identity, the circumstances surrounding the incident, and the police investigation are awaited.
The matter remains developing, and the allegations have not been independently verified.
