Abhishek Banerjee Attack: The biggest and shocking news of this time is coming out from the politics of West Bengal.

Police action and those 5 names: When the claim of ‘external enemies’ went wrong
There was political turmoil in the state after the violent attack on Abhishek Banerjee in Sonarpur, South 24 Parganas on Saturday. TMC chief Mamata Banerjee had directly blamed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for this attack. But, when the police investigating the case arrested at least five people after an intensive raid, the story suddenly took a completely new and unexpected turn.

Those arrested include Tapan Maiti, Akash Gayen, Nirmalya Sengupta (aka Joy), Kajal Das and Debashish Dutta. Of these, Tapan Maiti and Akash were also reportedly seen in the viral video in which Abhishek Banerjee was being pelted with stones and eggs. In the initial investigation it seemed that this was a well-planned conspiracy by the opposition, but as soon as the horoscopes of the accused were scrutinized, the investigators themselves were shocked to know the truth.
Connection of former MLA ‘Lovely Maitra’: House insider or some deep conspiracy?
The biggest and sensational suspense of this entire case was revealed when it was revealed by quoting sources that out of the five arrested accused, four were not connected to any opposition party, but to former TMC MLA Lovely Maitra herself.
It has been learned that Tapan Maiti and Nirmalya Sengupta (Joy) are considered very close to former MLA Lovely Maitra. Apart from this, Kajal Das and Debashish Dutta also have direct association with the former MLA. How did the people who used to hang around the TMC MLA just a month ago suddenly become the mortal enemies of the party’s second biggest leader Abhishek Banerjee? This revelation has raised a serious question in the political circles whether this was merely public anger, or a dreadful script of some major rebellion burning within the party?
The football field, an unemployed youth and the truth of the ‘booth’
The story of Akash Gayen, one of the arrested accused, gives a new human and mysterious dimension to the suspense of this entire case. Akash was known in the area as a loyal grassroots worker of TMC. After his arrest, his mother cried and gave a very shocking statement in front of the media.
Akash’s mother admitted that her son was closely associated with TMC and used to regularly sit at the party’s booths during elections. He said, “My son had no personal grudge against Abhishek Banerjee. After the incident on Friday afternoon, he returned home as usual, had dinner and went to play football in the nearby ground. Suddenly at night the police came and took him away.” Akash’s father is a van-rickshaw driver and Akash himself was unemployed. The mystery as to whose mind was behind this violent involvement of a loyal worker is now deepening.
TMC’s internal war: Has the bitterness of factionalism reached the streets?
This arrest of Lovely Maitra’s close associates has raised serious question marks on Mamata Banerjee’s claims that BJP was behind the attack. However, BJP has clearly denied any involvement in this incident.
Now political analysts are seeing this incident as an ongoing internal factionalism and sharp differences within TMC. Was this attack the result of internal rivalry created by a section of the party to stop the rising stature of Abhishek Banerjee? Along with this, Mamata Banerjee has also made a serious allegation on the administration that they were trying to stop the injured Abhishek Banerjee from getting proper treatment. From hospital rooms to police files, this case has now turned into such a maze that only time will tell where its final links will connect.
