'Could Have Died...': Mamata Banerjee ‘attacked’ while heading to meet deceased supporter’s family in Barrackpore

Former chief minister Mamata Banerjee's car allegedly came under an attack in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district today. Some unknown goons attacked her car with bricks and stones, she has alleged, in what she claimed could have even killed her. The state BJP has criticised the attack and denied any role in the violence. Banerjee faced protests in Halisahar on her way to the house of a party worker who allegedly died in police custody. The protesters surrounded the Trinamool chief's car, smeared mud on it, and allegedly threw shoes and water bottles. "Chor bhagao" slogans rent the air as the police were seen trying to push back the protesters.
