The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Thursday said that its party chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee sustained a “major injury”. The news was shared on the party’s social media handle, accompanied by an image showing Banerjee with the injury. However, Banerjee was discharged and allowed to go home after preliminary treatment as tests confirmed that her condition was stable.
Banerjee was admitted to Seth Sukhlal Karnani Memorial (SSKM) Hospital in Kolkata. Later, she was shifted to the Bangur Institute of Neurosciences at the IPGME&R – SSKM Hospital Centre in Kolkata for treatment.
The hospital director informed further that doctors administered three stitches on her forehead and another on the nose.
“Our chairperson @MamataOfficial sustained a major injury. Please keep her in your prayers,” the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) wrote on its post on X.
