Mamata Banerjee Faces FIR for Allegedly Hurting Religious Sentiments

A complaint has led to an FIR against Mamata Banerjee for allegedly making remarks that hurt religious sentiments. The complaint, filed by lawyer Rinki Chattopadhyay Singh, cites Banerjee's comments from 2025 and another protest as offensive to 'Sanatani Hindus globally.' The case includes various legal charges.

A legal case has been initiated against Mamata Banerjee, following accusations of making statements that allegedly offended religious sentiments. This move comes after an FIR was lodged, based on a lawyer's complaint, at the Siliguri Cyber Crime Police Station.

The complaint, filed by advocate Rinki Chattopadhyay Singh, suggests that Banerjee's comments made at a religious event and a protest could have deeply hurt the feelings of 'millions of Sanatani Hindus.' Singh alleges that the remarks were not only provocative and unconstitutional but also unexpected from someone in a constitutional position.

The police have charged Banerjee under several sections, including those related to criminal intimidation and defamation. A senior officer from the Siliguri Police Commissionerate has confirmed that a thorough investigation is underway to assess the allegations and legal standing of the claims made.
