TMC Crisis Live Updates: Eggs thrown at Kunal Ghosh outside Mamata Banerjee's home, arrest warrant against Abhishek Banerjee's PA issued

New Delhi: Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA Kunal Ghosh was pelted with an egg outside party chief Mamata Banerjee’s Kalighat residence in south Kolkata on Monday evening. The incident took place around 6.30 pm when Ghosh, the MLA from Beliaghata in north Kolkata, stopped to speak to reporters outside the residence. A man, who was later identified as Chandan, allegedly threw an egg at Ghosh from close range. Though Ghosh tried to duck, the egg hit his head and broke on impact, onlookers said.

A court in West Medinipur district has reportedly issued an arrest warrant against Sumit Roy, personal assistant to TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee, said police sources. Earlier, Trinamool Congress (TMC) National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee reached the office of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in connection with the alleged multi-crore Primary Teachers Recruitment scam in West Bengal.
