This is the second time in a few months' time Mamata met with an injury. In January, she suffered a minor injury on her head while she was returning to Kolkata from Burdwan.
She had suffered the injury after a car reportedly entered into her convoy prompting the driver of her vehicle to put a sudden brake.
