Delhi Police has issued a notice to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee requiring her to record a formal statement regarding a case dating back to 2013. The Parliament Street police station in Delhi is handling the matter, according to police officials.
A dedicated team from Delhi Police is present in Kolkata to oversee the statement-recording process. The move marks an escalation in the police investigation into the decade-old case, which has now drawn the attention of the national capital's law enforcement agency.
The specifics of the 2013 case and the precise reasons for seeking Banerjee's statement were not immediately disclosed. However, the involvement of Delhi Police and the formal notice procedure suggest the matter carries significant investigative weight.
This development comes as Banerjee continues her tenure as Chief Minister of West Bengal, a position she has held since 2011. The notice represents a rare instance of Delhi Police directly engaging with a sitting chief minister in an official capacity.
