Suvendu Adhikari to Sue Mamata Banerjee Over Coal Scam Allegations After Notice Expires

West Bengal's Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari announced he will take legal action against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee after her deadline to respond to his defamation notice expired. Adhikari had demanded evidence within 72 hours to substantiate Banerjee's claims linking him to a coal smuggling case. He stated Banerjee's failure to reply confirms her allegations were "imaginary" and a product of an "insalubrious mindset," vowing to see her in court. There was no immediate reaction from Banerjee or the ruling Trinamool Congress.
