A drug addict attempted to attack Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee with a knife, alleged party national spokesperson Saket Gokhale in a post on X on Tuesday.
Gokhale said that a complaint has been filed regarding the incident.
A copy of the complaint filed at the Kalighat police station alleges that "Tannishtha Saha, a Civic Volunteer and a drug addict...attacked Smt. Banerjee with a knife."
SHOCKING NEWS:A drug addict reached Mamata Banerjee’s residence today and tried to attack her with a knife. This is the condition in Bengal where even a Z+ protectee & 3-time CM is not safe. Was this a planned conspiracy by BJP because Didi is determined to finish them off in Delhi?A complaint has been filed. Will the police act or was this sanctioned by Amit Shah?

The complaint also alleged that the woman, in an intoxicated state, was hurling abusive languages and claimed to be Banerjee's niece.
Gokhale remarked that even a three-time chief minister with Z+ protection is not safe in Bengal and asked whether the incident was a planned conspiracy by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Gokhale further commented whether the attempted attack was sanctioned by Amit Shah.
