Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee faced angry protests and was allegedly manhandled by locals during a visit to Sonarpur in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district on Saturday, where he had gone to meet families affected by post-poll violence.
According to police, Banerjee's convoy came under attack as protesters hurled stones and eggs at the TMC leader.
Visuals from the area showed a tense atmosphere, with a group of women confronting Banerjee, calling him a "thief" and demanding answers over the political violence that followed recent elections.
The Diamond Harbour MP was visiting the family of a TMC worker who was reportedly killed in post-poll clashes when the protests erupted. Police said agitating locals surrounded Banerjee and allegedly pushed and jostled him amid the commotion.
