This comes just one month after she got injured in a minor car accident while returning from Bardhaman to Kolkata. Mamata Banerjee was returning in the car due to bad weather. A car suddenly came in front of her convoy due to which the driver abruptly applied brakes, which injured the Chief Minister.

Back then the Trinamool chief suffered minor injuries to her head and was being brought back to Kolkata for treatment. Speaking to the media after getting medical aid, Mamata Banerjee had said, "While we were on our way, a vehicle came from the other side and was about to dash into my car; I wouldn’t have survived if my driver had not pressed the brakes. Due to sudden braking, I hit the dashboard and got a little injured. I am safe because of the blessings of people."
