Delhi Police issue notice to Mamata Banerjee over 2013 protest case

The Delhi Police have issued a notice to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee regarding her involvement in a protest that occurred in 2013, officials confirmed on Thursday. The notice pertains to a demonstration held over a decade ago, with authorities now moving to formally record her statement in the matter.

Details regarding the specific nature of the 2013 protest and the charges under consideration have not been fully disclosed. However, the issuance of the notice indicates that the investigation into the incident remains active, despite the considerable time gap since the event occurred.

Banerjee, who has been Chief Minister of West Bengal since 2011, has not yet publicly commented on the notice. The timing of the legal action has drawn attention given the long interval between the original incident and the current police action.

The notice represents the latest development in a case that has remained dormant for over a decade. It is unclear whether the notice will lead to further proceedings or if it forms part of a routine administrative process in closing the investigation file.
