"They attacked me with brickbats and vandalised my car. This mob comprised goons from the Trinamool Congress. They were Trinamool Congress leader Malay Ghatak's men. Instead of arresting the people who attacked us, police have arrested BJP supporters," said Supriyo.
The Union Minister even took to Twitter to show his injuries. Post the attack, Trinamool Congress district president V Shivadasan negated any involvement of Trinamool Congress in the attack.
