The residence of senior Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader and advocate Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya was attacked on the early hours of Thursday (October 8, 2026). Mr Bhattacharya has blamed “Hindutva forces” for this attack. Once a fierce critic, Trinamool Congress chairperson Mamata Banerjee has also reached out to Mr Bhattacharya after the attack. 

An FIR has been registered at the Purba Jadavpur Police Station based on a complaint filed by the Left leader. An undentified masked man came on his bike at around 5.30am and hurled beer bottles at Mr Bhattacharya’s house and fled the spot. The attack broke windows in the senior politician’s house.
