Ms Banerjee had alleged that she was pushed by a few unidentified people during her campaign. She had sustained “severe bone injuries” on her left foot and ankle as well as bruises and injuries on her shoulder, forearm and neck, according to the report of her initial medical examination. She was discharged from the hospital in Kolkata on March 12.
