The West Bengal CM suffered a cut and bled from her forehead after falling at her Kalighat residence on Thursday.

After the consultation, the doctor stated that someone “pushed CM Mamata Banerjee from behind” at her south Kolkata residence on Thursday evening, causing a head injury. Mamata Banerjee felt someone push her from behind, which led to her fall.

CM’s brother Kartick Banerjee told the media that Mamata bled from her forehead and suffered a cut on her nose after falling at the Kalighat residence. They rushed her to the state-run SSKM Hospital around 7:30 p.m. and discharged her around 9:30 p.m. after giving her three stitches on her forehead and one on her nose. After several tests, the doctors confirmed that her condition was stable.

Dr. Manimoy Bandopadhyay, head of the Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research at SSKM Hospital, informed the media late Thursday night that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee arrived at the hospital around 7:30 p.m. She reported a fall near her home after being pushed from behind. She had a cerebral concussion and a sharp cut over her forehead, which was bleeding profusely…”

This is not an issue. Maybe our statement was misinterpreted. It was like a sensation of being pushed from behind that led to the fall. It happens when a person falls.

Despite providing Z-Plus category security for the chief minister, the Kolkata Police have remained silent. “No member of the chief minister’s family has lodged any complaint,” a city police officer said on condition of anonymity.
