BJP leader says TMC supporters hurled bombs and fired at his car during Bengal Bandh
Priyangu Pandey, who recently switched over from TMC to BJP, says that 50-60 people targeted the car in Bhatpara when he was heading to former MP Arjun Singh’s home.
A social media video purportedly showed bullets being fired at Pandey’s car while he was inside it. (Screengrab/ANI) A BJP leader said that supporters of the ruling Trinamool Congress opened fire and threw bombs at his car in North 24 Parganas district’s Bhatpara area on Wednesday during the Bengal Bandh called by the Opposition party.
Priyangu Pandey, who recently joined the BJP after quitting the TMC, said, “Today I was going to our leader Arjun Singh’s residence…We moved some distance and the road was blocked by a jetting machine from the Bhatpara municipality. The moment our car stopped, around 50-60 people targeted the vehicle.”
He added, “Seven-eight bombs were thrown at my vehicle and then six-seven round firing was done. This is a conspiracy of the TMC and the police. They had planned to murder me. My security was withdrawn and then this incident happened.”
