An egg is thrown at TMC MLA Kunal Ghosh outside the residence of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata, according to multiple reports. NDTV and other outlets say a man, later identified as Chandan, throws the egg from close range while Ghosh is outside and speaking to reporters. The egg hits Ghosh’s head after he attempts to duck, and it breaks on impact. The incident draws attention to security around the Trinamool leader’s home area.
Times of India reports that the accused claims Ghosh committed atrocities, presenting a motive for the attack. Ghosh condemns the incident as planned hooliganism and says it will not deter him, while raising questions about security. Trinamool also attributes the attack to political opponents, alleging involvement linked to the BJP, though the reports primarily describe the alleged assault and reactions rather than presenting confirmed links.
Police action is reported as pending, with authorities expected to investigate the incident further.
