Video: Abhishek Banerjee roughed up by mob in Bengal's Sonarpur

TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee's visit to Sonarpur in West Bengal to meet the family of a post-poll violence victim turned chaotic after protesters allegedly hurled stones and eggs, raised "chor chor" slogans, and surrounded his convoy. Wearing a helmet for protection, Banerjee accused BJP-backed activists of attempting to kill him and blamed the absence of police despite prior intimation of his visit. The dramatic confrontation, which left his clothes torn and spectacles damaged, triggered a fresh political storm, with the TMC accusing the BJP of orchestrating the attack while the BJP denied involvement and attributed the incident to public anger against the ruling party.
