The incident occurred during their visit to the area, where they were meeting party workers and engaging with local supporters. Eyewitnesses claim that a group of individuals disrupted the gathering and targeted the leaders, leading to chaos and injuries. BJP leaders Shankar Ghosh and Khagen Murmu faced an alleged attack in Nagrakata, raising serious concerns about political safety in the region.
Amit Malviya, BJP’s IT cell head, strongly condemned the incident. He accused the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) of encouraging political violence and suppressing opposition voices. Malviya stated that such attacks reflect a breakdown of law and order under TMC’s governance.
