Police in West Bengal have lodged an FIR against former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and organisers of a Trinamool Congress student wing gathering, accusing them of breaching an order issued by the Calcutta High Court. The case was registered at Hastings Police Station following the foundation day event organised by the Trinamool Congress student organisation.
The complaint centres on alleged non-compliance with judicial directions that governed the conduct of the event. Authorities have not publicly detailed the specific nature of the alleged violations or the circumstances that prompted the police action.
The development marks a continuation of legal tensions between the Banerjee camp and state authorities. High Court orders in West Bengal have frequently become flashpoints in ongoing disputes between various political factions.
Investigating officers have registered the FIR against both Banerjee, who served as Chief Minister until 2021, and those responsible for organising the student wing's programme. The police statement confirmed the registration of the case but provided limited details on the investigation's next steps or potential charges under consideration.
