Trinamool Congress MP and the party's youth wing president Abhishek Banerjee was today injured when his vehicle met with an accident on NH-2 near Singur, while he was returning to Kolkata from Murshidabad.
"Abhishek Banerjee was injured when the vehicle he was travelling in met with an accident on Durgapur Expressway near Singur," ADG (Law and Order) Anuj Sharma told PTI.
