00:05All right, we have news from Bengal.
00:07CID team reaching Mamata Banerjee's Kalighat residence.
00:11The CID team at former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's residence.
00:14She's been a Chief Minister three times in a row.
00:17One defeat and we've seen how the party has collapsed,
00:20how all the cases against her are emerging.
00:22According to sources, a team of CID officials have reached the former CM residence
00:26to serve notice to Abhishek Banerjee as one of the TMC party office actually is also a Kalighat residence.
00:32So that's the visual on your screen.
00:34So now we have a confirmation that the CID team is there on the ground.
00:39CID is probing the fourth signature case over this letter meeting resolution
00:44and basically the register that was annexed with it.
00:47It was signed by Abhishek Banerjee. It was submitted to the speaker.
00:51We are told that the CID team is still outside.
00:53So it's not that they've been able to go and enter into the residence.
00:56and whether Mamata Banerjee is there at home or not.
00:59But it's also because permission to enter into the residence has been denied.
01:03So they cannot barge in, of course, inside the residence.
01:06And Central Forces team also has reached Mamata Banerjee's residence.
01:12But that is what is happening on the ground right now.
01:16Anupam Mishra joins me for the latest on that.
01:18Anupam, so there's either a team there,
01:21or Abhishek Banerjee's residence here at Mamata Banerjee.
01:23Are they after Mamata Banerjee or some other issue of Abhishek Banerjee?
01:31Well, let me update you.
01:32A CID team has just entered inside the residence of Mamata Banerjee,
01:36that is 30B Harish Chatterjee Street.
01:39And you know, one of the Central Party offices is also situated inside that residence.
01:44And let me tell you, initially, when CID team reached here,
01:47around 30 people of CID team,
01:48they have been denied the permission by TMC leaders inside.
01:51And they have said that since Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee is not here,
01:55you can't enter.
01:55But after a prolonged discussion,
01:59a team of nine members of CID team,
02:01including two videographers,
02:03have been allowed inside to search the party office
02:07situated inside the Mamata Banerjee residence.
02:10And you can see the visuals.
02:11This is the residence of Mamata Banerjee.
02:13And these are the unprecedented visuals.
02:16In the last 15 years,
02:17we haven't seen such visuals that
02:19a CID team entering
02:21Chief Minister's residence
02:23in connection with a case.
02:26And this is the latest visuals
02:28which we are showing you.
02:29A CID team comprising of nine members
02:32have just entered inside the party office
02:34which is situated inside the residence of Mamata Banerjee,
02:37that is 30B Harish Chatterjee Street.
02:39And you know this case is related to the forced signature
02:43which was given by Congress to Assembly Speaker.
02:48And CID is probing that case.
02:50And Abhishek Banerjee had signed that letter.
02:54And according to CID,
02:58several notices have been served to Abhishek Banerjee.
03:01But Abhishek Banerjee did not appear to CID.
03:04And today was also the date of appearing to the CID.
03:08But Abhishek Banerjee, since he is in New Delhi,
03:11a team of CID has just entered.
03:13And what we are getting from the CID
03:16that they want to search the party office
03:19situated inside the residence of Mamata Banerjee
03:22in connection with the case.
03:24So a team of CID has just entered.
03:26They are searching the party office
03:29situated inside the residence of Mamata Banerjee.
03:32This is the latest update
03:34which we are delivering to you.
03:38And a lot of police personnel,
03:40including a huge team of Central Forces,
03:44has also been deployed
03:45outside the residence of Mamata Banerjee.
03:48Let me show you the team of Central Forces
03:51which have been deployed
03:52outside the residence of Mamata Banerjee.
03:55These are the visuals of Central Forces
03:58deployed outside the residence of Mamata Banerjee.
04:01Initially, a team of CID, around 30 people came
04:04outside Mamata Banerjee residence.
04:06They wanted to enter inside,
04:07but they have been denied the permission.
04:09TMC leaders inside have said
04:11that you can't enter inside
04:12as Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee.
04:14Both are not here.
04:15They are in Delhi.
04:16Then after a prolonged discussion,
04:18a member of nine members' team
04:21has been allowed to enter inside the residence.
04:25And they are searching at present
04:27the party office which is situated
04:29inside the Mamata Banerjee residence.
04:31And some of the CID officials are still outside.
04:35They are waiting to come out the team
04:36which went inside the Mamata Banerjee residence.
04:39So it's a latest development
04:41coming from Kalighat,
04:44the center of power for the last 15 years.
04:47And now we are witnessing unprecedented visuals
04:50that CID team entering the residence
04:53of former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
04:55I have to ask this,
04:55they are the CID team.
04:56They have the protocol.
04:58They are backed by the forces.
04:59Can't they go inside the residence
05:01or that would be breaching the protocol?
05:04I want to understand this
05:05because it's after all the CID team.
05:07They have come to serve a notice.
05:08They have come to question if required.
05:09And they are well within their rights
05:11to do so, I presume.
05:16Well, Pooja, let me tell you
05:18what we are getting from the discussions
05:21between the TMC leaders
05:23inside the residence and the CID team.
05:26It seems that the team wanted to search
05:31the office of the Trinimal Congress
05:33which is inside the premises of Mamata Banerjee.
05:37Mamata Banerjee there.
05:38Anupam, before I let you go,
05:40the leaders of Trinimal Congress
05:41is the former Chief Minister,
05:41is she inside?
05:43Has she said anything?
05:48No, Mamata Banerjee is not there
05:50inside in her residence.
05:52She is in Delhi.
05:53She has gone to Delhi
05:54and she is in Delhi at present.
05:56Abhishek Banerjee is also not in Kolkata.
05:59Abhishek Banerjee is also in Delhi.
06:01So both Abhishek Banerjee and Mamata Banerjee
06:04are in Delhi at present.
06:05And the CID team when entered
06:08inside the residence,
06:09both were not there.
06:11Alright, I correct myself of course.
06:12Mamata Banerjee, Abhishek Banerjee
06:13and the Nashville capital
06:14I assumed if they have already
06:16headed back to Bengal
06:17but they are still in Delhi
06:18from what our sources are telling us
06:20while the CID team is at her residence
06:22while the TMC is falling apart
06:24in Bengal.
06:25Appreciate you joining us.
06:26Anupam, keep tracking this developing story
06:28and what happens next.
