Several TMC Leaders and Councillors Arrested Across West Bengal

MP, May 22, 2026, Kolkata : Several TMC leaders and councillors were arrested on Wednesday night and Thursday in connection with multiple cases registered against them at police stations across the State.

Early on Thursday morning, TMC councillor of Dankuni Municipality’s Ward 18, Surya Dey, who had reached a crematorium in protest after his name was deleted from the voter list, was arrested in connection with a post-poll violence case.

It was alleged that after the 2021 elections, Dey assaulted a man and threatened to kill him. Out of fear, the victim did not lodge any complaint at the time. After the change in government, a complaint was filed and a case was registered. On Thursday, police arrested Dey from his residence.
