Summary

On October 8, 2026, an attack on the residence of Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya in Kolkata resulted in the property being damaged. While CPI(M) state committee member Shatarup Ghosh, Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, and Bhattacharya himself have stated that the incident occurred, West Bengal Minister Tapas Ray has denied the claims. Reports indicate that an assailant was observed using strong religious slurs during the event. Law enforcement officials have attributed the attack to Bappa Guchhait, who was subsequently arrested. Accounts regarding the nature of the incident differ, with some reports describing a lone masked individual on a motorbike and others mentioning a group of masked individuals.
