A first information report (FIR) was registered against former West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee for allegedly making provocative and communal remarks during the last Assembly election campaign, a senior police officer said on Friday (June 12, 2026). At a rally, Ms. Banerjee allegedly told a minority community that their safety depended on her political presence, without which they would be destroyed.
“It’s a Zero FIR that was lodged on June 7. It was initially filed at the Netaji Nagar police station based on a complaint submitted by an individual Tushar Kanti Das (45). However, the case was later transferred to the Hare Street police station,” the officer said.
