Mamata All India Trinamool Congress leader and Diamond Harbour MP Abhishek Banerjee on Saturday (November 7, 2026) said that his residence was attacked by “BJP hooligans”. Mr. Banerjee shared the video of the attack on his social media handle and said that this was the seventh attempt on my life in the last six months.

Kolkata Police enforces prohibitory orders under Section 163 of BNSS outside Mr. Banerjee’s residence in Kolkata Kalighat area “After two days of continuous recce, this is how BJP hooligans attacked my house at 2 AM today.

Watch the footage and see for yourself... This is the seventh attempt on my life in the last six months. Yet, there has been no police action and no judicial intervention,” the Trinamool leader posted on social media. Mr.

Banerjee said that “if this is what can happen to an elected Member of Parliament, imagine the plight of the common man in West Bengal”. After two days of continuous recce, this is how BJP hooligans attacked my house at 2 AM today.

Watch the footage and see for yourself. If this is what can happen to an elected Member of Parliament, imagine the plight of the common man in WB. This is the seventh attempt on my life in the last six months. Yet, there has been no police action and no judicial intervention.

Hooligans are running riot across the state because the judiciary continues to turn a blind eye. Thank you, Milords, for remaining mute spectators! 🙏🏻 On the occasion of his birth anniversary on Saturday (November 7, 2026), his supporters gathered in front of his house in the Kalighat area.

A group of BJP supporters appeared and started shouting slogans, “thief, thief”. Photographs of the Trinamool leader, cutouts and banners hung with birthday wishes were torn. When Trinamool supporters tried to stop this, an argument started between the two camps, and clashes broke out.

Mr. Banerjee came out of his house and met his supporters, some of whom had sustained injuries. “There is a conspiracy to attack me and kill me,” he alleged. In the video shared by Mr. Banerjee on social media, a mob is seen attacking the house with sticks and tearing banners on shops next to the house.

A few police personnel in uniform are seen pushing away the mob. The Trinamool leader also added that “hooligans are running riot across the State because the judiciary continues to turn a blind eye”. “Thank you, Milords, for remaining mute spectators!” he said.

Earlier, on Thursday (November 5, 2026) evening, the nephew of former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had said that the Trinamool lost elections to the Supreme Court and not to the Bharatiya Janata Party. AITC chairperson and former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee criticised the attack.

“Who gave them the right to attack someone’s house at 3 AM? Who authorised such an attack? We have come here to lodge our complaints against the harassment, intimidation, and deliberate obstruction occurring in our locality.

Even basic work in the neighbourhood is being disrupted, and people are being prevented from carrying out their religious celebrations peaceful,” she said to reporters outsider her residence in Kalighat. “How many bulldozers do you have?

Bring them all. If you have the courage, come and run your bulldozers over my body. I am standing right here, and I want to see how far you can go. Run your bulldozer over my chest if you dare,” she threatened. After the BJP came to power in May 2026, more than 20 FIRs have been lodged against the Trinamool Congress leader.

Mr. Banerjee’s personal assistant Sumit Roy has been arrested and according to Trinamool leadership, he is being forced to depose against the Diamond Harbour MP. Mr. Banerjee has also raised questions about the recovery of cash of ₹1 crore from a party office in Diamond Harbour and said that it was an attempt to incriminate him.
