West Bengal political-legal crisis deepens
Entities: Abhishek Banerjee · Calcutta High Court · West Bengal Government · Kalitala Police Station · Bhawanipur Police Station
Overview
Investigations that began after the Trinamool Congress entered its third term in April 2026 have continued to widen. After the Calcutta High Court halted the demolition of Abhishek Banerjee’s constituency office on 18 July, the BJP lodged complaints alleging a ₹30 crore fraud in Cyclone Amphan relief funds. On 21 July senior TMC leader Asit Majumdar was detained en route to a Martyrs’ Day rally, and the Enforcement Directorate served an interrogation notice to rebel legislator Madan Mitra over alleged irregularities in municipal recruitment, extending earlier raids and asset seizures.
The political‑legal turbulence escalated on 25 July during the concluding day of the state’s extended Budget Session. Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced that the Comptroller and Auditor General’s report on West Bengal’s finances would be tabled—a step described as unprecedented under the previous TMC administration. He pledged that no minister or leader would be spared and urged the Governor to order FIRs against officials implicated in financial irregularities, including disaster‑relief distribution and the free Sebaashray health camps run by Abhishek Banerjee. Rural Development Minister Dilip Ghosh later presented a departmental bill, and the session featured a debate on the Home department budget after a 14‑year gap.
On 27 July the Calcutta High Court refused interim protection for former TMC MLA Atin Ghosh and for Sumit Roy, personal assistant to Abhishek Banerjee, in separate land‑grabbing investigations. The rulings underscored procedural safeguards while highlighting ongoing legal challenges faced by senior TMC figures.
The state government continues to assert a tough stance on law‑and‑order amid the expanding probe.
