Trinamool Congress financial and land scam allegations

Overview

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has faced a series of legal and financial allegations in West Bengal. Initially, the party’s Leader of the Opposition, Ritabrata Banerjee, alleged a scandal involving the transfer of approximately 30 crore rupees from party accounts to a company named ‘Leaps and Bounds’, which is reportedly linked to Abhishek Banerjee. Abhishek Banerjee denied these claims, accusing the BJP government of political harassment.

Following these developments, legal scrutiny expanded to include an alleged multi-crore land-grabbing scam in Salboni, West Midnapore district. Sumit Roy, a personal assistant to Abhishek Banerjee, was remanded to eight days of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) custody after the Supreme Court dismissed his anticipatory bail plea. Roy is accused of involvement in the illegal sale of government land through forged deeds, with allegations that the proceeds were deposited into TMC accounts.
