Addressing a press conference here, Ghose said the Supreme Court has directed police to upload FIRs online so an accused can know the allegations against them but this direction is not being followed.
She said the FIRs should be uploaded in a manner that makes them clearly legible, alleging that police were deliberately not making them available online.
Ghose also referred to provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita under which an accused in cases carrying a punishment of less than seven years is required to be served a notice, and alleged that this requirement was also not being followed.
“FIRs are not being uploaded online and notices are not being given,” she said, alleging that cases relating to incidents dating back to 2018 and 2019 were being revived by filing fresh complaints.
“This is a conspiracy against TMC activists,” Ghose alleged.
Referring to the police questioning of TMC Rajya Sabha leader Derek O’Brien in Kolkata, she claimed the senior Parliamentarian was pushed and fell, yet a complaint was lodged against him.She said the alleged misuse of the police was part of a wider pattern of “political atrocities” and intimidation of senior TMC leaders.
“The manner in which the police is being misused in Bengal, the Constitution, law and order are being attacked,” she said.
“If the police is misused, no one will remain safe,” she said. She said the party would challenge the alleged misuse of police, and also raise the issue at the international level.
“The manner in which police action is happening is a violation of human rights,” she said.
The TMC was defeated by the BJP in May 2026, ending Mamata Banerjee’s 15-year reign as West Bengal chief minister.
