Calcutta High Court Orders Disclosure of Funds in Frozen TMC Bank Accounts
The Calcutta High Court has refused to unfreeze three bank accounts linked to the Trinamool Congress (TMC), following a petition by the Mamata Banerjee-led faction challenging the freeze imposed after a complaint by rebel MLAs alleging cyber fraud. The court has directed the concerned private bank to disclose the funds in these accounts by July 7 and asked the police to submit investigation reports. It is also considering appointing special officers to manage the accounts during ongoing legal proceedings amid internal party disputes.
