FIR Filed Against Mamata Banerjee over 'Violation' of Calcutta HC Order on TMCP Meeting

  • On Saturday, the Kolkata Police registered a suo motu FIR against former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for allegedly violating Calcutta High Court conditions during a Trinamool Chhatra Parishad foundation day event held on Friday.
  • The Calcutta High Court had permitted the August 28 event on Cathedral Road in Kolkata but directed one flank remain open; police stated organizers violated this condition and exceeded the court-specified time limit.
  • Separately, police registered a case at Shakespeare Sarani Police Station against Trinamool Congress leaders Abhishek Banerjee and Derek O'Brien following a Thursday clash over an unauthorized hoarding at 9, Camac Street.
  • Describing the action as a "political vendetta," the TMC criticized police, while Abhishek alleged the state is witnessing a "steady erosion of constitutional governance" and "alarming descent into a police state."
  • Following the 2026 West Bengal elections, the TMC alleged that Bharatiya Janata Party Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari is "fearful" of the party amid these ongoing legal tensions.
