KOLKATA: BJP and Trinamool MLAs traded blows in the state assembly on Monday over the Bogtui killings, following which a Trinamool MLA had to be rushed to hospital with a bleeding nose, prompting the speaker to suspend five BJP MLAs.
Injured Trinamool MLA Asit Mazumder alleged that assembly opposition leader and BJP MLA Suvendu Adhikari had punched him on the nose. “The BJP MLAs hit us, the assembly opposition leader punched me on the nose,” he said. BJP MLAs, including Adhikari, however, countered by saying that cops in plain clothes and Trinamool MLAs had first attacked them when they were demanding a statement from CM Mamata Banerjee on the Bogtui incident.
