An FIR has been lodged against Abhishek Banerjee, the National General Secretary of the Trinamool Congress party and MP from Diamond Harbour, for allegedly making provocative remarks aimed at Union Home Minister Amit Shah during the 2026 West Bengal Assembly election campaign. The complaint, filed by Rajib Sarkar, accuses Banerjee of threatening Shah and promoting enmity through his speeches delivered between April 27 and May 3, 2026. The police registered the case on May 15 under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Representation of the People Act, citing that Banerjee's remarks could incite public disorder and disrupt communal harmony. Additionally, the West Bengal government has withdrawn his Z-plus security cover after a security review, with Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari questioning the necessity of such arrangements without a serious threat. Banerjee had received this level of security for over a decade, but it was reduced following the recent electoral defeat of the Trinamool Congress.
