Adhikari Warns Banerjee Against Pursuing Medical Records Disclosure
Mamata Banerjee is asking two hospitals to explain how her old medical records became public.
The records concern leg injuries she had during the 2021 election campaign.
She says her legal notice asks whether the hospitals had permission or a court order to share them.
It also asks whether the documents are authentic and how they reached the current chief minister.
Suvendu Adhikari warned her not to pursue the matter too deeply.
He said more medical documents, including X-rays and MRI reports, could be made public if needed.
Adhikari has also said Banerjee did not have a fracture.

West Bengal chief minister
