Masked men vandalise the Trinamool Congress (TMC) office of MP Abhishek Banerjee in Kolkata early Thursday, and staff allege that televisions and other equipment are removed during the attack. The incident is reported to occur around 4:30 a.m., with footage and eyewitness accounts showing men in masks taking items out of the premises and damaging parts of an interior room.
Abhishek Banerjee and TMC officials accuse BJP workers of carrying out the vandalism and claim people inside the office are assaulted. Times of India and The Hindu both describe Banerjee alleging a BJP role, while Scroll.in cites security camera footage that shows masked men transporting televisions and lockers. Times of India further reports that Banerjee criticises the Kolkata Police response time and that the TMC calls for arrests and an investigation.
Across the outlets, the core facts are consistent: the attack happens at night/early morning, masked individuals are seen removing valuables, and Banerjee attributes the incident to BJP workers. The sources differ mainly in emphasis on police response and the specifics drawn from shared video.
