This is the second time Mamata Banerjee has suffered injury in the last six weeks. On March 14, the 69-year-old Trinamool Congress supremo fell inside her Kalighat residence in Kolkata and suffered a grievous injury on her forehead and nose. She had to be admitted to hospital for a few hours.

Banerjee's brother, Kartik Banerjee, told a Bengali news channel that the TMC leader had a cerebral concussion and had a sharp cut on her forehead and nose which was bleeding profusely.
