Doc makes U-turn, says Didi wasn't 'pushed from behind'

HOURS after stating that West Bengal chief minister fell at her Kalighat residence "due to some push from behind" resulting in injuries on her forehead and nose, director of state-run SSKM Hospital, where the TMC supremo was treated last evening, Manimoy Bandyopadhyay clarified on Friday that all he meant was that the chief minister may have felt a "sensation of push from behind.".

Banduopadhyay also said her statement was misinterpreted, which sparked large-scale confusion and speculations.

"She (CM) had a sensation of pushing from behind which led to her fall. Our job is to treat and we have done that. There was a misinterpretation of what I said last evening," said Bandyopadhyay.

While reading out a medical bulletin on Thursday evening Bandyopadhyay said the chief minister reported to the hospital with a history of fall within the vicinity of her home due to "some push from behind".
