Delhi Police alleged that on april 8, 2024 the accused persons gathered outside the main gate of election commission of india (ECI) and started protesting with placards and banners without a requisite permission and despite the fact that Section 144 (prohibit gathering) of Code of criminal Procedure was in place.


The delhi Police alleged that the TMC leaders continued to protest despite warning on the imposition of Section 144 following which an FIR was registered.

"I have perused the chargesheet as well as the complaint... I take cognizance of the offenses punishable under Section 188 (disobedience to order promulgated by a public servant) 145 (unlawful assembly) and 34 (common intention) IPC. All the accused persons be summoned through IO for April 30, 2025," the court ordered.

The TMC leaders held the protest against central probe agencies CBI, NIA, ED and the Income Tax Department and demanded changing their chiefs. A 10-member delegation of the TMC had announced the protest after meeting a full bench of the ECI to press their demand. The party alleged the central probe agencies were targeting opposition parties at the behest of the BJP-led Centre.
