Woman Detained Near Mamata Banerjee's Residence Amid Conflicting Attack Claims
A woman identified as Anusua Saha, a civic volunteer, was detained outside former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's Kalighat residence after an incident on Tuesday evening. The Trinamool Congress alleged she attempted to attack Banerjee with a knife and was intoxicated, while police described the event as a non-attack altercation and said the complaint lacked substance. Authorities are investigating Saha's prolonged absence from duty and the circumstances of the incident. Saha was granted bail following her arrest.
