No evidence of a conspiracy to kill Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee has been found in the course of the investigations into a complaint made to the police to this effect by the Trinamool Congress.

This was stated by State’s Home Secretary Ardhendu Sen here on Thursday.

The Trinamool Congress had filed a complaint on Wednesday at a police station at Bidhannagar in the State’s North 24 Parganas against a female journalist and two camerapersons of a local Bengali television channel of trying to murder Ms. Banerjee in the early hours of the day.

An allegation that a private car with a Press sticker had chased her convoy and tried to dash against her car when Ms. Banerjee was on her way back home has “not been substantiated,” Mr. Sen added.

State police’s Deputy Inspector General, Presidency Range, Siddhnath Gupta is heading the investigations into the complaint.
