TMC youth president Priyatosh Adhikary and his wife Mampi Adhikary were allegedly thrashed by a group of unidentified miscreants.

Adhikary further stated that it was a planned attack and that the perpetrators had their faces covered before attacking them.

Commenting on both incidents, TMC's Alipurduar block president Manaranjan Dey said: "The goons who attacked our party members were sent by the BJP. Many such incidents were reported in the past few days. Several complaints have already been registered."

Goutam Deb, West Bengal Tourism Minister, visited Chaudhari on Thursday to assess the gravity of his situation.

"The patient is in a very critical situation. An operation might be necessary to remove the bullet from his brain. This is the result of violence caused by the BJP. Police will take proper action against the perpetrators of the crime," he said.
