Kolkata Police register a suo motu First Information Report (FIR) against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the organisers of the Trinamool Chhatra Parishad (TMCP) for an alleged violation of conditions imposed by the Calcutta High Court during the TMCP foundation day programme. The FIR is lodged at Hastings Police Station, according to multiple reports.
The Calcutta High Court had permitted the event but required organisers to keep one flank of the road open to allow movement of traffic and the public, and also set a time limit for the programme. Police allege these conditions were not followed, including claims that the road flank was not kept open and that the event continued beyond the permitted time. Some reports also cite allegations of disruption at the venue, including supporters pushing aside barricades and clashes or jostling involving police.
While NDTV and The Hindu focus on the filing of the FIR and the parties named, other coverage adds procedural and on-the-ground details—such as the event date and location in Kolkata and that multiple legal provisions under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita are invoked—alongside references to Banerjee addressing the gathering.
