Abhishek Banerjee, the general secretary of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), has received a notice from the West Bengal Police's Criminal Investigation Department (CID), requiring him to appear at CID headquarters on June 1. Banerjee responded defiantly, stating he would cooperate with legal counsel but would not succumb to pressure. The notice follows an investigation into signature mismatches on a TMC resolution that nominated party office-bearers in the West Bengal Assembly. The resolution, which included Sovandeb Chattopadhyay as Leader of the Opposition, was submitted after Assembly Speaker Rathindra Bose requested a signed document from TMC MLAs. The CID's involvement was prompted by discrepancies found in the signatures of some legislators. Additionally, Banerjee is under scrutiny from the Kolkata Municipal Corporation regarding a property associated with his family, which has raised questions about its legality. This public appearance marks one of Banerjee's first since the TMC's electoral defeat on May 4, where he visited a party worker affected by post-poll violence.
