West Bengal's Nadia district court has issued an arrest warrant against Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra for repeatedly failing to appear in a hate speech case. The magistrate took note of "a series of disobedience" of court orders by Moitra. The court had directed her to appear on Wednesday, but she did not show up. Her lawyer cited fear of being heckled outside the court as the reason for not appearing.
The magistrate criticized her conduct, stating it showed a "lackadaisical approach" towards complying with court orders. The warrant was issued as the court had given Moitra several chances to appear. The complaint was filed on June 17, 2026, alleging that Moitra's remarks in a video message promoted enmity between groups, outraged religious feelings, and constituted hate speech.
