A drone was spotted hovering near the helicopter of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Malatipur on Saturday afternoon, triggering security concerns and prompting an immediate call for investigation.
Union minister of state for education Sukanta Majumdar asked whether there was any connection between a Trinamul minority cell leader and Mofakkerul Islam, who was arrested in connection with the incident.
