While she was waving and was half out of the vehicle, people rushed in and that caused the door of her car to slam her leg.”
CM Banerjee has alleged that she was attacked by “four-five men” and has suffered injuries in her left leg and shoulder.
“I was standing outside my car with the door open. I was praying from there on seeing a temple. Few people came around my car and pushed the door. The door hit my leg,” told Banerjee to the media persons.
