Siliguri, August 28: Amid the BJP's 12-hour 'Bengal Bandh,' the party's Jalpaiguri MP Jayanta Kumar Roy's car was allegedly gheraoed by TMC workers in Siliguri on Wednesday. The Bandh has been called by the BJP to protest against the alleged police crackdown during the 'Nabanna Abhijan' to the state secretariat in Kolkata on Tuesday.

A stone was also reportedly pelted at the Jalpaiguri Lok Sabha MP's car, who left the spot after a while. Police personnel were also present at the spot. Meanwhile, following the clashes at Bhatpara in North 24 Parganas district earlier on Wednesday, two persons were admitted to a hospital with bullet injuries on head. West Bengal Bandh: Calcutta High Court Directs Mamata Banerjee Government to Ensure Normalcy During BJP Protest.

This development comes in the wake of BJP leader Priyangu Pandey's allegations that people belonging to TMC attacked and fired on his car in the Bhatpara area of North 24 Parganas district.

"Today I was going to our leader Arjun Singh's residence. We moved some distance and the road was blocked by a jetting machine from Bhatpara Municipality. The moment our car stopped, around 50-60 people targeted the vehicle. 7 to 8 bombs were thrown at my vehicle and then 6-7 round firing was done. This is a joint conspiracy of TMC and the police. They planned my murder. The police supported and gave information. My security was withdrawn and then this incident happened," he said.

The BJP leader also mentioned that his driver had been shot at. "There are two people who are severely injured among the other seven," he added. Speaking on the incident, former BJP MP, Arjun Singh said that there was a plan to kill Priyangu Pandey.

Meanwhile, the West Bengal police also detained protesting BJP party workers at Kolkata's Bata Chowk. Earlier today, the Trinamool Congress party workers staged a protest against BJP's 12-hour 'Bengal Bandh'. The Trinamool Congress accused the BJP of trying to create anarchy in Bengal.
