Television visuals showed Gandhi alighting from the vehicle after reaching a designated halt and inspecting the damaged windowpane.

The attack took place in Malda’s Harischandrapur area as the yatra re-entered West Bengal from Bihar.

“The rear window pane of the vehicle Rahul Gandhi was travelling in was smashed after being pelted with stones… This is unacceptable,” Chowdhury said.
