WB BJP State General Secretary Locket Chatterjee took to Twitter to inform about the incident. She added that Radharani Naskar’s condition remains critical.

According to reports, Radharani Naskar was first taken to a local medical institution for treatment. However, after being turned away from there she was later admitted to SSKM Hospital in Kolkata.

Deriding the anarchy in Mamata Banerjee-run state, Chatterjee wrote: “A new low for West Bengal as women are now murdered mercilessly. You have lost the moral mandate to continue as the CM, Mamata Banerjee”.

Alleging that TMC goons were behind the attack, Locket Chatterjee said the ruling TMC wants to silence the voice of protest by the Mahila Morcha.

The Trinamool Congress denied the charge and claimed that the attack was the result of the infighting in the state unit of BJP. No arrests have been made so far, police said.
