A TMC office in Kolkata was ransacked earlier today, with several employees reporting broken windows and defaced property. Police were called to the scene and secured the premises while collecting evidence.

After the incident, TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee publicly denounced the attack, describing it as an act of thuggery that undermines democratic processes. He urged the police to take strict action against those responsible.

BJP officials responded by calling the incident a staged event aimed at tarnishing the TMC’s reputation. They urged the media to avoid sensationalising the situation until an investigation has concluded.

Police authorities have launched a formal inquiry into the ransacking and are reviewing security measures at all party offices in the city. No arrests have been reported as of yet.
