Anubrata Mondal Attacked and Office Vandalized Amid Cattle Smuggling Allegations
Trinamool Congress leader Anubrata Mondal was attacked inside the party's Birbhum district office by a group of men wielding sticks who vandalized property and confronted him. The assailants accused Mondal of mistreating people and involvement in cattle smuggling, a charge linked to ongoing investigations. Mondal, who spent over two years in custody related to these allegations, remained seated during the incident while his associates were present but did not intervene.
