00:00The big news are coming in on your screens right now.
00:03It's from Kolkata. Kolkata police is at TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee's house.
00:08Kolkata police have arrived at TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee's residence.
00:11Multiple senior police officials are present at his home.
00:14Police personnel are currently at Abhishek's residence.
00:17Their arrival follows a notice issued by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation.
00:20We are still trying to get clarity on what is the reason.
00:23But remember this has happened earlier as well.
00:26Abhishek Banerjee had been served a seven-day notice regarding this matter.
00:28According to corporation sources, seven-day period expired today.
00:32The very day the police arrived at the home of the TMC MP.
00:36Now remember, he's not simply a member of parliament.
00:38He is a family member to Mamata Banerjee.
00:41Many say that after Mamata Banerjee, he's the second in command.
00:45In fact, on many issues, including references to tickets and more,
00:49Abhishek Banerjee takes a strong call and has his own cloud of netas and mantris and members of parliament.
00:56Visuals on your screen.
00:58This is Abhishek Banerjee's residence in Kolkata.
01:01This is the Harish Mukherjee Road.
01:02Police personnel are standing there.
01:04And we'll try and get more clarity.
01:06This was basically a notice issued by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation.
01:09And according to our information, that there are some unauthorised construction in various parts of the house.
01:18So, possibly is it the extension of the house or somewhere around the house.
01:22The notice was served.
01:23And right after that seven-day period, according to the corporation offices, expired today.
01:28And that's when the police arrived at the home of TMC, second in command.
01:35That's the big news coming in police at Abhishek Banerjee residence.
01:39We'll also wait for clarity on what the TMC is saying.
01:42Are they going to pin this on political vendetta?
01:45Are they going to say this is injustice being done to a senior leader of the Trinamool Congress,
01:49who's of course related to Mamta Banerjee.
01:51He's a member of parliament himself.
01:53And TMC BJP controversy and face-off have been intensifying already since the election results.
02:01Anirban is, you know, Roy is joining me for the latest on that.
02:04Anirban, tell us about the details here.
02:07Because I see the visuals on our screen is about police personnel still standing outside.
02:11Have they gone inside the house?
02:12What is the reason that they have congregated there right outside the house?
02:21Well, see, the reason is right now not known yet.
02:25Because what we have seen that lots of police officials as well as the top officials
02:29has gone inside in this building, that is the Shanti Niketan, 188A Hadish Mukherjee Road.
02:36And right now, what we have known that multiple senior officials were present over here
02:40at the current residence of Abhishek Banerjee.
02:44And their arrival follows a notice issued by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation.
02:48As we know, that a notice was being issued by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation to Abhishek Banerjee
02:54after it was alleged by the corporation, the KMC, that this residence is having some illegal construction.
03:03And that's why they have served a notice.
03:05And what we have known from the sources of KMC itself is the notice is ending today.
03:11And on the note, what we have learned from the sources itself that Abhishek Banerjee had demanded
03:1710 more days to answer this as well.
03:19But what we have learned now is the Kolkata Police who came here, the top officials and also
03:25the some officers have came here to visit and to have awards with Abhishek Banerjee.
03:31Sir, tell us more, Anirban, as you're giving us the details.
03:35There was earlier as well, I believe, that the police had either landed up at Abhishek Banerjee's residence
03:40or there was some commotion of a kind.
03:42But also, as live visuals on our screen continue to come in from Abhishek Banerjee's residence,
03:47I want to help understand here.
03:49When we say unauthorized constructions in the house, can you try and elaborate on it?
03:53What kind are we looking at?
03:55But what is the reason that around or inside the house is why municipal corporation officials
04:00and police are there at his house?
04:07See, from the sources itself, we have learned that there is an escalator, there is an elevator
04:12inside this residence and that's why it was being said as an illegal construction.
04:19But we have to see that whether it was written on the notice or not.
04:23And also, what we have, what we can see and what we have learned itself from the sources
04:29that Abhishek Banerjee has sought such kind of questions to the Kolkata municipal corporation as well.
04:38And he also sought a few questions.
04:41As we have seen that a few days back, when Abhishek Banerjee has questioned the KMC itself
04:48in front of the media, he said that I don't know which portion of my building is illegal
04:53or what.
04:54So right now, it's a question being raised by Abhishek Banerjee as well.
04:58And as well, we will get to know in a few minutes or a few hours that what are the
05:05reasons
05:05that the notice being served for the two buildings of his residence as well as another one.
