TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee released from hospital

Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's nephew Abhishek Banerjee was released this evening from the hospital where he was under treatment following a road accident earlier this month.

The medical board constituted to look after Banerjee's condition took the decision to release him after a check-up, a senior official at the hospital said.

According to an earlier bulletin issued in the morning by Belle Vue Clinic, where the TMC youth wing president underwent a surgery for an "orbital floor fracture", he was allowed free mobilisation and a normal diet from today.

"Banerjee needs to come back to the hospital again for another round of check-up. The doctors have prescribed him complete rest for two weeks," the official said.
 

Banerjee's car had met with an accident on National Highway-2, near Singur, in Hooghly district on October 18. A 12-member team of surgeons had conducted the surgery a week later on October 25.
