The convoy of BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari was attacked in West Bengal's Cooch Behar on Tuesday.
According to reports, the Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal assembly, was attacked while he was leading a protest rally in Cooch Behar.
“There is total absence of law and order, total breakdown of constitutional machinery in Bengal. What was police doing," West Bengal BJP President Samik Bhattacharya told Times Now.
The Trinamool Congress, however, dubbed the charges "well-scripted drama". Adhikari, who had travelled to the north Bengal district to lead a BJP demonstration outside the office of the Cooch Behar Superintendent of Police, faced sloganeering.
According to BJP leaders, a mob, holding TMC party flags and black flags, gathered at the Khagrabari crossing around 12.35 pm when Adhikari’s convoy was passing through the area. Protesters reportedly shouted 'go back' slogans and hurled shoes at his vehicle.
At least one car in his convoy, including a police escort vehicle, had its window panes shattered.
