Kolkata: West Bengal BJP President Sukanta Majumdar, who had fallen sick on Wednesday after getting caught in a scuffle between police and BJP supporters at Taki in North 24 Parganas district, is still in ICU.

“Sukanta Majumdar is in ICU under saline support at a private hospital in Kolkata as he has vomiting tendencies. He needs to rest for some time in order to recover fully,” said Leader of the Opposition in West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari on Thursday.

Meanwhile, sources close to Majumdar said that he received injuries on his chest, ribs and waist during the scuffle. A CT scan was done to determine the seriousness of the injuries.

Thereafter, a scuffle between the BJP workers and the policemen broke out and Majumdar got stuck in the midst of the scuffle and fainted.
