The incident occurred when Roy was returning from a rally at his constituency in Bongaon. Unidentified persons hurled bricks at his car, one of which injured him.
Trinamool Congress activists held demonstrations and blocked roads in several areas in Roy’s constituency on Sunday to protest against the attack.
