Trinamool Congress leader and former parliamentarian Kunal Ghosh alleged that his vehicle came under violent assault twice within a single evening by motorcycle-borne miscreants brandishing hammers and firearms in Kolkata’s Beliaghata area. The politician stated that assailants shattered the front windshield and passenger windows of his car while shouting threats before being repelled by his personal security detail.
Ghosh lodged a formal police complaint with local precinct commanders, claiming that the orchestrated ambush aimed to intimidate him over recent public commentary on municipal political feuds. Kolkata Police swiftly cordoned off the incident site, examining footage from municipal traffic surveillance cameras along the route to identify the registration plates of the fleeing motorbikes.
Senior ruling party leaders condemned the physical violence, demanding that the city police commissioner expedite the identification and apprehension of all conspirators. Law enforcement agencies stepped up motorized patrolling across Beliaghata and deployed armed protective escorts for the political spokesperson as investigatory teams recorded eyewitness testimonies.
