Tripura Police have now logged an FIR against the TMC leaders for misbehaving with the Additional SP and SDPO of Khowai and obstructing police personnel from discharging duty.
Last week, TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee and his party activists were attacked in separate incidents in Tripura, where the party is looking to increase its base ahead of the assembly elections in 2023.
Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal Chief Minister, had alleged that the recent attacks on Abhishek Banerjee (her nephew) and others in Tripura were done “on the instructions” of Union Home Minister Amit Shah and asserted that such acts “will not cow her down”. However, West Bengal BJP termed the charge as “baseless”.
