Mithun Chakraborty undergoes surgery in Kolkata hospital

West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Friday morning visited veteran actor and BJP leader Mithun Chakraborty at a private hospital in Kolkata, where he underwent a surgical procedure, sources at the medical establishment said.

Chakraborty underwent a procedure on Thursday to remove a metal plate that had been implanted following an incident. The procedure was successful and the actor is in a stable condition, they said.

The CM, in a social media post, wrote, "Distinguished film actor and BJP central committee member Mithun Chakraborty has been admitted to a private hospital



in Kolkata due to health issues. I visited the hospital today to see him. I spoke with him and enquired about his health condition. I pray to the Almighty God for his speedy recovery."

This was the second time Adhikari visited Chakraborty during hospitalisation. In 2024, the chief minister met the actor after he underwent an orthopaedic surgery on his hand.

Chakraborty, a prominent BJP leader in West Bengal, had campaigned extensively for the party during the 2026 Assembly elections, in which the BJP defeated the Trinamool Congress to form the government in the state.
