The former West Bengal Chief Minister has been asked to record her statement regarding a confrontation between Trinamool Congress leaders and police.
Delhi Police on Monday served a notice to former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, requesting her to join an investigation into a 2013 protest confrontation in New Delhi, according to India Today.
Police sources clarified that Banerjee is being called to provide a statement in her capacity as a witness rather than as an accused person.
A police team visited her Kolkata residence to deliver the notice, which allows her to record her statement at her home, office, or another preferred location.
The case involves an incident from April 2013 when Banerjee and a delegation of Trinamool Congress ministers and MPs protested near the former Planning Commission headquarters on Sansad Marg.
The protest was held to demonstrate against the alleged assault on then West Bengal Finance Minister Amit Mitra by members of the Students' Federation of India (SFI).
During the event, a confrontation occurred between the delegation and Delhi Police personnel over movement restrictions. Banerjee reportedly told police she was a "Lok Policy Representative (LIP)" and not a VIP.
