Kolkata, Jan 8 (IBNS): Debasish Acharya, the youth who slapped Trinamool Congress MP and Mamata Banerjee's nephew Avishek Banerjee leading to his brutal assault, was shifted to state-owned Seth Sukhlal Karnani Memorial (SSKM) Hospital on Thursday evening.

Debasish was admitted in East Midnapur State General Hospital. The administration  arranged a heavy security to bring him safely to Kolkata and admitted him at SSKM Emergency Ward.

On Sunday (Jan 4),  in a public meeting at Chandipur in East Midnapur district, Debasish Acharya slapped Avishek suddenly on the stage. He was immediately pinned down by the TMC men on the stage and beaten up heavily and seriously injured.

SSKM authority did not make any comment immediately on the present health condition of Debasish.
