While the BJP spokespersons at both the State and Central levels condemned the incident and the police’s overzealousness, the Trinamool Congress dismissed it as “a stunt and excellent acting” by the State BJP chief.
Majumdar was leading a protest at Taki from where he was supposed to go to Sandeshkhali, 50 km away. A huge police contingent, equipped with riot gear, massed round the guesthouse where he had lodged for the night and refused to let him leave.
Majumdar was forced to sneak out by the side gate. Policewomen were at the forefront in trying to prevent the BJP chief from proceeding when he climbed up on a SUV’s bonnet in order to extricate himself. Majumdar lost balance and fell on the car’s bonnet, hurting the back of his head. He was taken to the Basirhat multispeciality hospital where he was put on oxygen support and from there he was rushed to a private hospital in Kolkata.
