The Story in Brief
Mamata Banerjee’s car was stoned and smeared with mud in Halisahar, North 24 Parganas, on Saturday. Locals shouted ‘Chor Chor’ as she arrived to meet the family of a Trinamool Congress worker who died in police custody. Protesters also threw shoes, according to the former chief minister.
Banerjee alleged a conspiracy and said police took no security despite being informed. “The entire West Bengal is being controlled by goons,” she said. Residents accused her of coming to disturb the area. The TMC worker had fallen ill while in Halisahar police custody.
The Indian Opinion
This incident feeds two predictable narratives: Banerjee as a victim of a law-and-order collapse, or as a leader reaping public anger over her party’s alleged misconduct. Both sides rush to conclusions. The facts are thin, no police report yet on the death in custody or on the adequacy of Banerjee’s security. Until those reports are public, blame games only deepen distrust. Question remains: will the probe focus on the custodial death or the stone pelting, or both?
