Mamata Banerjee alleges police pressure led to Abhishek Banerjee’s hospital discharge amid protest tensions

Mamata Banerjee has alleged that her nephew and Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee was discharged from the Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (ITUR) due to pressure and threats from the police.

The controversy unfolded after Abhishek Banerjee reportedly visited the hospital following an injury.

According to Mamata Banerjee, police presence and alleged pressure on hospital authorities created an atmosphere that led to his discharge. She criticized the actions of law enforcement and accused them of interfering in the matter.

The situation escalated as political tensions grew outside the hospital, with protests and demonstrations being reported.

Eggs, stones, and slippers were allegedly thrown during the unrest, leading to heightened security measures in the area.

The ruling Trinamool Congress and opposition parties traded allegations over the incident, further intensifying the political atmosphere in the state.

The episode has sparked a fresh political debate in West Bengal, with the Trinamool Congress accusing authorities of targeting its leaders, while opponents have questioned the claims made by the party. The incident has once again highlighted the sharp political rivalry in the state.
