During a regular visit 2 DSTPS, Durgapur•As usual, aggressive TMC goons stone pelting&trying to break my car• @amitshah @rajnathsingh— Babul Supriyo (@SuPriyoBabul) January 16, 2017
Supriyo alleged there was no response from the local police though a CISF senior official had informed them after seeing the "huge gathering of aggressive TMC supporters at the gate".
"The CISF commander had requested local police for help but there was no response from the police," Supriyo alleged.
District police officials did not elaborate on the incident but said they are looking into the matter.
On January 4, over 100 Trinamool Congress workers had staged a protest outside the house of Supriyo in Kolkata demanding his arrest in the Rose Valley chit fund scam.
He was targeted for the second time after Trinamool Congress MPs Tapas Paul and Sudip Bandyopadhyay were arrested for their alleged involvement in the scam. Paul had dragged Supriyo's name into the investigation, saying "he was very close to Kundu (Rose Valley boss)".
Angry TMC workers also carried out an attack on an office of the BJP in Hooghly after Paul and Bandyopadhyay's arrest.
