West Bengal police probe ₹535cr in 3 TMC HDFC accounts
West Bengal Police are looking into three Trinamool Congress (TMC) bank accounts after a dissident MLA, Biswanath Das, alleged that the three accounts in TMC's name with HDFC Bank's Central Plaza branch in Kolkata hold ₹535 crore.
That's over half of TMC's total declared funds as of March 2025, raising big questions about where the money came from.
Cybercrime team files organized crime case
The police cybercrime team has filed a case for organized crime, cheating, and criminal conspiracy, also bringing in IT Act rules since digital transfers are involved.
Das believes the money was moved illegally and wants all banking records preserved to trace its origins.
Interestingly, this all kicked off after former minister Aroop Biswas wrote to HDFC Bank last week asking them to freeze these accounts—not long after he was removed from his post on June 5.
