Complaint Filed Against Abhishek Banerjee Over Social Media Post on Gujarati CommunityPreviousNext

A complaint was filed against Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee over a May 2 social media post alleging it could disturb communal harmony by targeting the Gujarati community. The complaint, lodged by Arnab Kanti Das at Bhabanipur Police Station, claims the post incited hatred and misused Banerjee's position. Police have initiated a preliminary inquiry, with legal action pending based on findings. This follows an earlier FIR related to Banerjee's alleged provocative remarks during election campaigning.
