Kolkata: Fresh Controversy Over Abhishek Banerjee’s Camac Street Office, Owner’s Lawyer Alleges Forcible Occupation | VIDEO

Kolkata, August 29, 2026: A fresh controversy has emerged surrounding TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee's Camac Street office. The owner's lawyer, Sagnika Banerjee, claims that Banerjee had forcibly occupied part of the building. According to the lawyer, the lease agreement was not fully adhered to, leading to the unlawful takeover of two floors.

The dispute stems from a 2020 lease agreement signed by jailed former TMC councillor Debraj Chakraborty. My client had specified that possession could only be claimed after receiving a completion certificate, but the building owner asserts that illegal activities were taking place within the office. Despite informing the police, no action was taken.

A notice was sent on August 24 for the two floors to be vacated. Mayor Agnimitra Paul highlighted safety concerns about the party's hoarding, stating it was installed on an iron frame that could have caused significant damage during heavy rains.
