Abhishek Banerjee faces third complaint over Sebaashray health camps Abhishek Banerjee faces third complaint over Sebaashray health camps The Diamond Harbour police lodged a second FIR on July 3 based on a similar complaint by Sukdeb Das, a local resident Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Abhijit Das, lodged his second police complaint against Trinamool Congress (TMC) national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee and several others on Saturday alleging large-scale irregularities and medical malpractice at the Sebaashray health camps that Banerjee launched in 2025. “Not only were medical students from government colleges brought to these camps and passed off as doctors but X-Ray and ECG machines were also brought and used in violation of national laws,” Das said. He lodged his complaint at Bishnupur police station in South 24 Parganas district where Banerjee is the Lok Sabha member from Diamond Harbour. On July 1, Das lodged his first complaint at Diamond Harbour police station, and based on it the police filed a first information report (FIR) under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the National Medical Commission Act and the West Bengal Clinical Establishments Act. Das also alleged in his complaint that USG machines were used for prenatal sex determination in violation of rules under the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PC & PNDT) Act, 1994. His complaint named Banerjee’s aides Sumit Roy and Ayan Ghosh Dastidar and TMC’s South 24 Parganas district leaders such as Jahangir Khan and Saokat Molla, who were arrested in various criminal cases after the new BJP government was formed. The Diamond Harbour police lodged a second FIR on July 3 based on a similar complaint by Sukdeb Das, a local resident.

TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee Moves Calcutta High Court To Quash Multiple FIRs Lodged Post-2026 Assembly Polls

TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee Moves Calcutta High Court To Quash Multiple FIRs Lodged Post-2026 Assembly Polls TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee Moves Calcutta High Court To Quash Multiple FIRs Lodged Post-2026 Assembly Polls Abhishek Banerjee moves Calcutta High Court seeking quashing of multiple FIRs, alleging political vendetta following the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections. The National General Secretary of the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) and Member of Parliament, Abhishek Banerjee, has moved the Calcutta High Court challenging multiple FIRs lodged against him post-2026 West Bengal State Legislative Assembly polls. The petition is likely to come up for hearing before Justice Saugata Bhattacharya this week. The plea states that consequent upon a change in the political dispensation in the State, where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) formed the Government, there has been a “sudden and unprecedented escalation of criminal proceedings, complaints and coercive actions” directed against AITC functionaries, explicitly targeting him. He argues that these successive criminal proceedings against him within an exceptionally short period reveal a “concerted and systematic campaign of political persecution”. “…stale, dormant and long-forgotten allegations have been resurrected solely with a view to target the Petitioner on account of his political identity and his position as one of the foremost leaders of the opposition,” his plea filed through Advocate Agnish Basu states. It adds the object and effect of such actions appear to be not merely investigation into alleged offences, but to subject Banerjee to undue hardship, reputational damage and political inconvenience. Stressing that the State machinery cannot be permitted to be converted into an instrument of political retribution, his plea submits “The misuse of police powers to satisfy political objectives or to settle political…
