The West Bengal Police descended on the Diamond Harbour MP's house to serve a notice requiring his appearance for questioning. The development comes as authorities intensify their probe into the case, which remains under active investigation.
Banerjee's residence in Kalighat has become the focal point of police activity, with officials making repeated visits to the premises within the past seven days. The nature of the billboard-related allegations has not been detailed in official statements, though the persistent police interest suggests the matter carries significance.
The Trinamool Congress leader has not made any public statement regarding the police action. The case marks another instance of law enforcement action involving senior opposition figures in the state, adding to the ongoing political discourse surrounding investigative procedures.
As the inquiry progresses, authorities are expected to conduct formal questioning of the MP as part of their standard investigative protocol. The notice served on Tuesday indicates the police's determination to advance their inquiry into the matter.
