Bengal TMC legislator's vehicle targeted in successive attacks

Kunal Ghosh, a Trinamool Congress legislator aligned with the party leadership, alleged that unidentified motorcycle-borne attackers targeted his vehicle twice in the Narkeldanga area of Kolkata. During the incidents, which occurred within a two-day span, Ghosh claimed that assailants smashed his car's windshield with hammers while threatening his security detail. According to the legislator's account, one of the attackers brandished a firearm during the assault, raising concerns about the nature and motive behind the violence.

The incidents come amid ongoing political tensions in West Bengal, where the Trinamool Congress maintains control of the state government. Such attacks on political figures and their properties have periodically surfaced in the state's volatile political landscape, often triggering demands for enhanced security measures and investigations by law enforcement agencies.

The attacks have not yet been officially attributed to any group or individual. Authorities have been approached for comment regarding the incidents and any subsequent investigation into the matter. The case adds to concerns about political violence and public safety in the state capital.
