TMC MLA Usharani Mondal and her husband were allegedly attacked while on their way home from a Kali Puja event. She blamed the rival faction of her own party for the attack. She said, “Abdul Khalek Mollah beat me up. I was dragged from the car and beaten up with rod. He is now saying that someone believed to be with Basudeb Mondal had opened fire. We are living in fear.”
