A female civic volunteer allegedly tried to attack former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

TMC's Dola Sen claimed that Mamata Banerjee was on her way to inaugurate the puja when a woman named Tannishtha Saha (38) allegedly attacked her near her residence in Kalighat.

TMC workers handed the woman over to the police and lodged a complaint at Kalighat police station. The complaint claimed that Saha abused Mamata Banerjee and tried to attack her with a knife. It was also alleged that the woman was drunk.

Police confirmed the complaint filed by the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC faction, but said no weapon was found with the woman.

Police also said that there was a heated argument between civic volunteers on the spot. At the same time, the party alleged that there was a breach in the Z Plus security given to Mamata Banerjee.

In the complaint of the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC faction, the name of the woman who tried to attack has been named as Tannishtha Saha, while the police has named her as Anusha Saha.

Kolkata Police Commissioner Ajay Nanda said, "A woman has been detained from the spot. Initial reports suggest that her mental condition is not completely well. Efforts are being made to find out her motive."

Gokhale wrote, "The situation in Bengal is such that even leaders who have Z Plus security and have been Chief Minister three times are not safe. Was this a well-planned conspiracy by the BJP, because Didi is determined to challenge them in Delhi?"
