FIR Registered Against Mamata Banerjee for Alleged Violation of Calcutta High Court Order
Kolkata Police registered a suo motu FIR against former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and organisers of the Trinamool Congress students' wing for allegedly violating a Calcutta High Court order during the TMCP foundation day rally on August 28. The court had permitted the event on Cathedral Road with conditions to keep one flank open and limit the duration. Police allege these conditions were breached, including road blockage and extended timing. The investigation is ongoing, and allegations remain unproven in court.
