Mamata Banerjee ignored warnings, says Delhi Police

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee ignored warnings that could have protected her from protesters gathered in Delhi on Tuesday evening, the Delhi Police has said.

In a report to the Home Ministry, the police have said that as Ms Banerjee was approaching the Planning Commission, she decided that her car would use a gate that had not been cleared for her. The police had reportedly alerted her to the fact that demonstrators had gathered at the main entrance, and had suggested that she use the VIP gate.
