KOLKATA: BJP leader Firoze Kamal Gazi alias Babu Master was attacked while he was on his way to Kolkata on Saturday.
According to police, Gazi received splinter injuries when miscreants attacked his car in West Bengal s North 24 Parganas district. Gazi was on his way to Kolkata when miscreants attacked his car with crude bombs on Basanti Highway.
According to reports, at least 15 miscreants attacked Babu Master s SUV near Lauhati bridge, barely 200 metres away from Lauhati police outpost, when the leader was returning to Kolkata from Basirhat.
