Legal case filed against Mamata Banerjee for breaching Calcutta High Court order
A complaint has been lodged against former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee and the Trinamool student wing for allegedly violating a Calcutta High Court directive during their foundation day event.
Authorities allege that supporters of the West Bengal Trinamool Chhatra Parishad pushed past police barricades, clashed with officers and blocked Cathedral Road, extending the programme beyond the time allowed by the court. The incident occurred on Friday during the organization’s foundation day celebrations. Kolkata police registered the case at Hastings Police Station, invoking several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
