Kolkata: According to the report of two poll observers submitted to the EC on Saturday, the alleged attack on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Nandigram which led to her being injured was in fact an accident and not a planned attack.


The incident that happened at Birulia Bazar East Midnapore district's Nandigram on March 10 after the CM filed her nomination, had taken place "suddenly" even though a "conspiracy theory" was alleged, the report submitted by special observer Ajay Nayak and special police observer Vivek Dubey to West Bengal for the state election stated as informed by a source at the CEO office.

The suddenness of the incident had led to CM Mamata Banerjee being injured.


"The incident was not a planned attack but an accident. It had taken place suddenly", the source said quoting the report. "The suddenness of the incident led to it. There was no conspiracy behind the incident," it further states.


Meanwhile, sources informed news agency PTI that the Election Commission will take a call on the reports submitted by the West Bengal chief secretary and two special poll observers on the alleged attack on Sunday

After the incident came to light the EC had sought reports from Chief Secretary Alapan Bandyopadhyay, special observer Ajay Nayak and special police observer Vivek Dube by Friday evening.

Previously, the Commission had sought more details from the West Bengal chief secretary as the report was not "comprehensive enough". The West Bengal government's report was said to have not mentioned the claim of there being "four-five" attackers who manhandled CM Mamata but it instead cited the presence of a crowd.
