Raipur Police File BNS Case Against TMC MP Mahua Moitra Over Remarks on Amit Shah

Police acted on a Raipur complaint that cited fear among Bangladeshi refugees in Mana Camp.

Overview

  • The FIR was registered at Mana Camp police station under BNS Sections 196 and 197 on Saturday, according to Chhattisgarh police.
  • Authorities say the complaint by resident Gopal Samanto alleges Moitra’s words were objectionable and could disturb social harmony in an area housing refugees since 1971.
  • A video of Moitra speaking in Bengali in West Bengal’s Nadia district circulated online, drawing criticism from BJP leaders for an alleged violent expression about the home minister.
  • Moitra rejects the case as a fake FIR, says her phrasing was a Bengali idiom about accountability, alleges mistranslation, and vows to challenge it in court.
  • A separate written complaint was filed in East Delhi by BJP MLA Ravinder Singh Negi as the political dispute expands across jurisdictions.
