Police Complaint Filed Over Remarks of TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee Allegedly Linking Centre to Bangladesh Political Killing

PTI, June 4, 2026, Kolkata: A police complaint has been filed against TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee by an advocate, alleging that her recent public remarks critical of constitutional institutions and "linking the Union government to a political killing in Bangladesh" were "prejudicial to the nation's sovereignty and public order".

The complaint was filed on Wednesday by advocate Rinku Chatterjee Singh of the Calcutta High Court's Jalpaiguri Circuit Bench at the Cyber Police Station in Siliguri, an officer said.

Singh said that Mamata had, through "various public speeches, political platforms and media interactions", allegedly made "provocative and inflammatory statements" against constitutional institutions, including the Election Commission and the armed forces deployed during the assembly elections.

In her complaint, Singh also alleged that the former CM had "publicly questioned the integrity, neutrality and credibility" of such institutions, thereby "attempting to create public distrust and disaffection against the State machinery".

"Such allegations were allegedly made openly before the public and media with the apparent intention of lowering the image and credibility of the Union Government before the international community and creating hostility between two sovereign nations," the advocate said in the complaint.

Singh also referred to a TMC event held on Rani Rashmoni Sarani on June 2, and claimed that Mamata had stated that "she was privy to confidential discussions with the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and had linked the Government of India and the Union Home Minister to a political killing in neighbouring Bangladesh".
