‘7th attempt on my life’: Abhishek Banerjee alleges BJP-backed attack on his home

According to reports, a clash broke out between TMC and BJP supporters outside Banerjee’s residence on Friday night.

In videos shared by Banerjee on social media, several individuals were purportedly seen vandalising banners belonging to his party.

Taking to X, Banerjee wrote: “After two days of continuous recce, this is how BJP hooligans attacked my house at 2 AM today. Watch the footage and see for yourself.”

Targeting the ruling BJP, he said: “If this is what can happen to an elected Member of Parliament, imagine the plight of the common man in WB.”

Banerjee further alleged that this was the seventh attempt on his life in the past six months.

“This is the seventh attempt on my life in the last six months. Yet, there has been no police action and no judicial intervention,” he said.

He also accused the judiciary of turning a blind eye to the alleged violence, stating: “Hooligans are running riot across the state because the judiciary continues to turn a blind eye.”

In an earlier post, Banerjee had claimed that unidentified individuals had been conducting reconnaissance of his office and residence for the past two days.

According to local media reports, the clash between BJP and TMC supporters left at least seven people injured.
