MP Abhishek Banerjee Seeks Urgent Court Hearing After Bank Freezes His Account
On August 17, 2026, Abhishek Banerjee, a Trinamool Congress MP, moved the Calcutta High Court seeking an urgent hearing of his petition against a private bank's alleged freezing of his account. His lawyer, Ayan Bhattacharjee, claimed this was done without proper procedure and that Mr. Banerjee plans to travel abroad for medical reasons permitted by the Supreme Court. Justice Krishna Rao scheduled the matter for August 19 and asked for notices to be served in the meantime. The High Court had previously granted Mr. Banerjee protection from coercive action in ongoing probes, with no police involvement in freezing his accounts.
