Kalyan Banerjee Denounces CID Visit to Mamata Banerjee’s Residence

Banerjee dismissed the investigative agency's presence as entirely unlawful, asserting that the former Chief Minister holds no status as a witness or suspect in any ongoing proceedings. The incident echoes a broader pattern of state-level scrutiny targeting TMC leadership, specifically following recent CID activity at the residence of Abhishek Banerjee.

State investigators are currently deep into a signature forgery probe involving multiple TMC legislators. Authorities have already recorded statements from 13 MLAs as the investigation gains momentum, yet the sudden move against Mamata Banerjee has sparked accusations of blatant political intimidation rather than standard procedural inquiry.
