According to her a stone had been pelted at her car causing the rear windscreen of the Toyota Innova to shatter immediately.

“We could not recognise those who hurled the stone but we managed to get out of the area,” Pal said before describing the incident as a “repeat of the 2021 incident.

She said that similar acts of intimidation had occurred in the past in the Rahmatnagar, which she described as a minority-dominated area. “Minorities are not the property of the TMC. These acts will not deter us,” she said.
