In a shocking incident, four individuals were apprehended on Sunday for allegedly vandalizing the office of TMC leader Pintu Debnath in South Kolkata's Garia area, officials said.

Armed men targeted Debnath's office near Garia station on Friday night, leaving three of his supporters injured. The arrested individuals were identified as Tukai Josh, Asit Halder, Gopal Debnath, and Tarak Das, all named in the FIR, according to the police.

Debnath accused the culprits of being BJP workers, disappointed after their plan to infiltrate TMC failed. However, BJP leader Sajal Ghosh countered, describing the incident as an internal TMC clash over construction business spoils.
