TMC files complaint over alleged knife attack on Mamata Banerjee

The All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) has filed a police complaint following an alleged knife attack on former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee outside her Kalighat residence on Tuesday. Party leaders claimed the assailant was a civic police volunteer who acted in a violent, intoxicated state; however, officials reported no injuries to the former Chief Minister.

Police identified the 38-year-old detainee as Anusua Saha, a civic volunteer posted at West Port Police Station. Authorities stated that the incident involved a heated altercation, and an investigation is underway. While TMC members alleged a larger conspiracy, state officials emphasized that the law will take its course.
