He was taken to the nearby SSKM Hospital with bleeding injury and later shifted to a private eye hospital, where he underwent a surgery.
Doctors said he might have lost his vision in the affected eye because the surgery was not completely successful.
Mr Chakraborty said, “I have lost vision in my left eye and don’t know whether I will get it back. The protestors were pelting bricks on us when our car was moving towards Eden Gardens. Breaking the windscreen, one portion of a brick hit my eye.”
