Kolkata Police have thwarted a potential terror attack targeting Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Abhishek Banerjee, leading to the arrest of suspect Rajaram Rege, who is allegedly linked to 26/11 attack accused David Headley. TMC has described the incident as part of a 'deep conspiracy'. The incident has sparked a political controversy, with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee accusing the BJP of orchestrating an assassination attempt on her nephew during a rally in Birbhum and Burdwan, referring to some BJP members as 'Gaddars (traitors)'. In response, BJP officials, including West Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar and Kolkata South constituency candidate Debasree Chaudhuri, have denied the allegations, asserting that their party adheres to non-violence.
