In early October, veteran lawyer and former CPM Rajya Sabha MP Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya reported a planned attack on his East Jadavpur residence. Attackers on motorcycles allegedly threw bricks and glass bottles, damaging property and CCTV cameras. Bhattacharya suggested ‘Hindutva goons’ were responsible and expressed a need for a firearm license for security. Separately, Kolkata Police summoned Trinamool Congress General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee regarding a clash at his Camac Street office in late August. The dispute arose when officials attempted to remove an illegal billboard, resulting in a scuffle where activists were accused of assaulting personnel. While 14 individuals have been arrested, Banerjee and other party leaders remain under police scrutiny regarding the incident. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-11: Abhishek Banerjee summoned by Kolkata Police over Camac Street office clash Kolkata Police have summoned Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee for questioning regarding an August 27 clash at his Camac Street office involving KMC officials and police. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/abhishek-banerjee-summoned-by-kolkata-police-over-camac-street-office-clash ### 2026-10-08: Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya's residence attacked in Kolkata Former CPM MP and lawyer Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya reported a planned attack on his Kolkata residence involving thrown projectiles and threats, prompting him to seek a firearm license. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bikash-ranjan-bhattacharyas-residence-attacked-in-kolkata --- Cite as: Political unrest and legal disputes in Kolkata.
