Masked Men Ransack Abhishek Banerjee’s Camac Street Office, TMC Blames BJP

The party has appealed to the President and governor in a move that turns the dispute into a formal legal and constitutional confrontation.

Overview

  • TMC says CCTV footage shows about 20–25 masked men breaking into the Camac Street office and leaving with televisions, laptops and other equipment in the early hours of Thursday.
  • Kolkata Police have detained six people for questioning as investigations continue and authorities review the CCTV and witness accounts.
  • TMC leaders publicly accused BJP workers and alleged police collusion while the BJP rejected those claims and suggested internal TMC factionalism or a staged incident.
  • Former chief minister Mamata Banerjee vowed to lead a protest in Delhi if alleged attacks and what she called political persecution do not stop, and the party has formally sought meetings with President Droupadi Murmu and Governor R. N. Ravi.
  • The episode follows recent FIRs and a row over the removal of an alleged illegal billboard at the same Camac Street building, and coverage shows a clear split between outlets reporting TMC allegations and BJP statements denying state involvement.
