Saha received heavy injuries in his head, waist and left leg and was taken to hospital by the locals. Local sources revealed that Saha’s popularity among the students may cause this attack on him.

In this incident, we have lodged an FIR with the Gaighata police station. We have demanded speedy investigation and arrest of the accused as soon as possible. Saha is an active worker. It was a deliberate attempt to hurt him,” Dutta alleged.
