KOLKATA: A Trinamool Congress worker, who suffered head injuries in Tripura, was flown in to Kolkata from Agartala and admitted to SSKM trauma care centre on Saturday night, hours after Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee addressed Trinamool Chhatra Parishad members at a virtual meeting.
Trinamool spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said party worker Subhankar Deb from Bandharghat in Tripura was beaten up by BJP goons. “They were preparing to celebrate the Trinamool Chhatra Parishad foundation day in the northeastern state. Some people were supposed to join Trinamool too,” he said.
Ghosh and party MP Shantanu Sen had rushed to Bandharghat soon after addressing a gathering near the circuit house in Agartala. “BJP hoodlums mobbed Trinamool member Mujibur Rahman’s house and ransacked it. They attacked him and fractured one of his hands. They hit Subhankar Deb on his head with an iron rod,” Ghosh said.
