“The only CCTV in the area which was in a shop was not working. Even the versions of the locals, considered to be eyewitnesses of the incident, was mixed. So reaching a conclusion is not possible,” a senior official of the district administration told PTI.
The EC had sought a report from the state chief secretary and the two observers appointed for the state for the coming Assembly poll following the incident.
Banerjee was discharged from Kolkata’s SSKM Hospital, where she was admitted due to the injury.
