Vigilantes Attack Anubrata Mondal at Birbhum Trinamool Office
A group of people went into a political party office in Suri and confronted Anubrata Mondal.
They broke furniture and other objects inside the office.
Videos appeared to show Mondal asking them to calm down.
One person called him a cattle thief and told him not to speak.
Some broken glass reportedly hit Mondal.
His associates were said to be nearby but mostly did not stop the attack.
Mondal had previously been jailed for more than two years in cases linked to alleged cattle smuggling.
He was released after courts granted him bail in the related cases.
