An FIR has been registered against senior Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and MP Abhishek Banerjee over alleged “provocative” and “inflammatory” speeches delivered during the 2026 West Bengal Assembly election campaign.
The case was filed at the Bidhannagar Cyber Crime Police Station in Kolkata following a complaint alleging that Banerjee’s speeches could disturb public order and communal harmony.
Allegations Against Abhishek Banerjee
According to the FIR:
The speeches allegedly contained inflammatory remarks
Comments were reportedly directed at Union Home Minister Amit Shah
The complainant accused the TMC leader of promoting enmity and tension during the election campaign
Investigators are examining videos and online clips of the speeches
Police have reportedly invoked sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and provisions of the Representation of the People Act.
Complaint Filed After Elections
The complaint was reportedly submitted shortly after the West Bengal Assembly election results were announced earlier this month.
The complainant, identified as a social activist, alleged that multiple speeches delivered between late April and early May contained language capable of creating unrest and escalating political hostility.
Political Temperature Rising in Bengal
The FIR comes amid an already tense political atmosphere in West Bengal following the high-voltage Assembly elections.
The state has witnessed:
Allegations of post-poll violence
Political clashes
Arrests of party workers
Multiple FIRs involving leaders from rival parties
Police data earlier showed hundreds of arrests and nearly 200 FIRs linked to post-election disturbances across the state.
TMC Yet to Issue Detailed Response
As of now, the TMC has not issued a full official response to the FIR against Abhishek Banerjee.
However, party leaders have repeatedly accused opposition parties of using investigative agencies and legal complaints for political targeting ahead of upcoming civic and local-body battles.
Supporters of the TMC argue the case is politically motivated, while opposition parties say inflammatory rhetoric during elections must face legal scrutiny.
Cyber Crime Angle Under Investigation
The case being handled by the Cyber Crime Police Station suggests investigators are examining:
Digital circulation of speeches
Social media amplification
Video evidence
Online dissemination of campaign material
Officials are expected to review multiple public rally recordings as part of the probe.
Broader Pattern of Political FIRs
The FIR against Abhishek Banerjee is part of a wider trend of politically sensitive legal cases in Bengal.
In recent weeks:
FIRs were filed against other TMC leaders over alleged circulation of forged political documents
Cases were registered over post-poll violence
Complaints involving BJP and TMC workers intensified across districts
The political environment remains deeply polarized after the dramatic power shift in West Bengal politics.
Conclusion
The FIR against TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee adds another flashpoint to Bengal’s already heated political landscape.
With allegations of provocative speeches, rising political confrontation, and ongoing post-poll tensions, the legal and political battle between the TMC and opposition forces appears set to intensify further in the coming weeks.
