A court in West Bengal issues an arrest warrant for Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra in a hate speech case after she does not appear as ordered. Mint reports the judge directs her to appear on Wednesday, but she is not present, and the court proceeds with the warrant.
Mint and India Today both frame the development as a step in the case’s next procedural phase. Both outlets point to the court’s directive and her absence as the immediate trigger for the warrant, citing that the order is made by the judge on Tuesday, ahead of the following hearing. The reports focus primarily on the arrest warrant itself rather than on the underlying allegations’ details or any response from Moitra or her legal team.
