Raipur Police File FIR Against TMC’s Mahua Moitra Over Alleged Remark on Amit Shah

The case in Raipur cites BNS sections 196 and 197 following a local complaint over an unverified clip.

Overview

  • Raipur’s Mana Camp police registered the FIR on August 30 based on a complaint by resident Gopal Samanto, invoking BNS sections 196 and 197 related to promoting enmity and prejudicing national integration.
  • BJP leaders escalated demands for action and an apology, with figures such as Ravi Shankar Prasad and Yogi Adityanath publicly condemning the language used against the Union home minister.
  • TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said the phrasing was symbolic rather than a literal call for violence, asserting that Moitra was pressing accountability over border security.
  • Multiple reports noted that news agency PTI and other outlets could not independently verify the authenticity of the viral video circulating on social media.
  • Earlier, a BJP worker lodged a complaint in Krishnanagar, and a Delhi BJP MLA also filed a separate complaint, as police inquiries and potential legal proceedings continue.
