Kolkata Police conducted a raid on the residence of Trinamool Congress (TMC) councillor Sandipan Saha in central Kolkata on June 6, 2026, according to local reports. The operation was part of an investigation into an alleged extortion case.
Sources said the raid was carried out by a team from the Kolkata Police's detective department. Officials have not yet released details about the evidence seized or the specific allegations against Saha.
Sandipan Saha represents Ward 62 in the Kolkata Municipal Corporation. The TMC has not issued an official statement regarding the raid as of June 7, 2026.
This action comes amid ongoing anti-corruption efforts by the West Bengal government, though no charges have been formally filed against Saha at this time.
