Kolkata/Diamond Harbour, May 22 (IBNS): Actress-turned-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Roopa Ganguly was attacked by several persons at Ishwaripur village under Kakdwip Police Station area in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district on Sunday afternoon, reports said.

According to reports, Roopa Ganguly went to visit few BJP supporters, who were allegedly beaten up by TMC on Saturday, at Kakdwip Hospital.

When she was returning to Kolkata, few villagers stopped her convoy and attacked her. They vandalized her vehicle and manhandled Roopa Ganguly.
