Union Minister Babul Supriyo attacked with brick by TMC workers

Denying the allegations, local TMC leader and Asansol Mayor Jitendra Kumar Tewari claimed that Mr. Supriyo was “attacked by disgruntled BJP workers” and TMC workers have nothing to do with incident. “When I heard of the incident, I sent the Deputy Mayor to accompany Mr. Supriyo and ensure his safety,” he said. As for the brick hitting Mr. Supriyo in his chest, Mr. Tewari asked “Can you prove it’s hurled by our party cadres?”

The Commissioner of the Asansol-Durgapur Police Commissionerate, L.N. Meena, said that he was not aware of any such attack. “No such attacks have taken place. So far we have not received any complaints in this regard,” he told The Hindu.
