The guard was admitted to Jangipur subdivisional hospital with eye injuries , said Jakir Hossain who was formerly a minister in the Mamata Banerjee government. Posing as TMC leaders engaged in municipal election, the criminals politely asked the guard for opening the house door and he opened the gate only to be attacked with pepper spray, Jakir Hossain told reporters today.
“I suspect that there was foul play behind today’s incident. I request my chief minister, Mamata Banerjee to launch a full-scale inquiry into the matter”
The question of security, law and order has always been a key issue at Jangipur, Das said adding the TMC candidate, Jakir Hossain himself is a blast victim who luckily survived the attack caused by the TMC infighting.
Jakir Hossain was seriously injured after unidentified attackers hurled a crude bomb at him at Nimtita railway station in Murshidabad district on Wednesday.
