Carrying sticks and tree branches, the youths smashed chairs, tables, glass panels and an air-conditioning unit despite Mondal’s repeated pleas to stop, according to a video clip that surfaced on social media. Mondal replied, “Who have I beaten?” The incident assumes political significance as Mondal is now associated with the rebel Trinamool Congress faction led by Ritabrata Banerjee, which aligned with the Democratic Trinamool Congress-Congress camp after breaking away from the Mamata Banerjee-led party. A youth questioned Mondal about people allegedly assaulted during his tenure as the TMC’s district president.
SURI: Rebel TMC leader Anubrata Mondal, once a close aide of former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee , was heckled and allegedly threatened by a group of youths who vandalised a party office in Suri, the headquarters town of Birbhum district, on Wednesday, police said.
