Kolkata: Officials of the government SSKM Medical College and Hospital issued a clarification on Friday regarding the injury on the forehead of Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. On Thursday, SSKM director Manimaya Bandopadhyay said that the injury might have been caused by being pushed from behind near his house. Manimoy claimed that his statement on Thursday was misinterpreted.
The hospital issued an explanation
“What I wanted to say was that there was a feeling of being pushed from behind,” the SSKM director told reporters on Friday. However, he declined to elaborate on his new interpretation. He said that our job is only to treat patients. We are doing all this.
Trinamool sources said that the Chief Minister is currently at his residence in Kalighat, South Kolkata. His condition is stable. He will be brought back to SSKM, where a medical team will examine him. After the Chief Minister was admitted to the hospital around 7.30 pm on Thursday evening, he was treated by a team of specialist doctors from the departments of Neurosurgery, General Medicine and Cardiology.
Many tests like CT scan were done
Many tests like electrocardiogram and CT scan were also done. The hospital administration advised to keep him in the hospital only. But she was adamant on returning home. On Thursday, Trinamool Congress said that the Chief Minister had slipped and fallen while walking at his residence. Trinamool's internet media cell also released a picture, in which the Chief Minister can be seen bleeding from his forehead.
