An FIR has been filed against former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee following a complaint by advocate Rinki Sen Chatterjee alleging that Banerjee made provocative remarks linking the Union Home Ministry and Home Minister Amit Shah to the murder of a Bangladesh national. The complaint claims her statements during a June 2 protest in Kolkata were prejudicial to national sovereignty, potentially harming India-Bangladesh relations and public trust in constitutional institutions.
