Kunal Ghosh claims life-threatening attack by BJP workers

Kolkata: Twice in two days, Trinamool spokesperson and MLA Kunal Ghosh on Sunday claimed that he faced “a life-threatening attack” after being followed by “bike-borne armed BJP miscreants”. He alleged that his vehicle was vandalised and said he took refuge at Narkeldanga Police Station after the miscreants followed him.

“I entered Narkeldanga Police Station to save my life, not lodge any police complaint. I was followed from my residence by bike-borne BJP miscreants. They blocked our vehicle’s path and attacked my vehicle and me with arms. One miscreant used hammer and broke the front glass of my vehicle. BJP is trying to kill me and the police was silent,” Ghosh claimed while entering Narkeldanga Police Station.

“My security personnel has to bring out his revolver to protect me and then only the miscreant left. It all happened in broad daylight, when I started from my residence for a non-political programme,” Ghosh claimed.


Ghosh claimed he had a narrow escape by entering Narkeldanga Police Station, pointing fingers towards “armed BJP miscreants who attempted to kill him”.

Ghosh alleged that the attacks on him today and yesterday were carried out by “BJP, who are attempting to kill him.”

BJP spokesperson Debjit Sarkar said, “Why will BJP attack Kunal Ghosh’s vehicle when the Trinamool Congress party has become non-existent.”

In yet another egg attack in West Bengal, stones and eggs were thrown at the car of Kunal Ghosh, an MLA from the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool faction, on Saturday by a mob in Hooghly.
