# Mamata’s convoy attacked with stones, mud in West Bengal 2026-08-09T21:51:12+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee's convoy was attacked with stones, mud and slippers in North 24 Parganas district on Sunday. The incident occurred as she visited the family of a TMC worker who died in police custody. Banerjee alleged a conspiracy by the ruling BJP and said she could have been killed. TMP MPs called it an "attempt to murder" and accused police of being silent spectators. The BJP denied involvement. Transport minister Arjun Singh said the attack reflected public anger over alleged TMC-era loot. Chief minister Suvendu Adhikari also distanced his party, calling the protest a sign of "strong public anger" against Banerjee. The confrontation is the latest in a series of hostile receptions for TMC leaders, including Abhishek Banerjee, in recent months. ## Coverage - rediff.com - hindustantimes.com Tags: law and order, Mamata Banerjee, police custody death, political violence, TMC-BJP conflict, West Bengal Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mamata-banerjees-vehicle-attacked-with-stones-mud-and-slippers/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
