**TMC MP Mahua Moitra Booked in Raipur for Controversial Remarks Against Amit Shah**

**Raipur, August 31, 2025:** Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra is facing legal trouble after an FIR was filed against her in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, for allegedly making objectionable statements against Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

The FIR, registered at the Mana police station on Saturday, stems from a complaint filed by a local resident, Gopal Samanto. The complaint accuses Moitra of violating sections 196 and 197 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which pertain to promoting enmity between groups and making assertions prejudicial to national integration, respectively.

The controversy erupted after Moitra allegedly stated, “if Mr. Shah fails to stop infiltration from Bangladesh, the first thing you should do is cut Amit Shah’s head and put it on your table.” The alleged comment was reportedly made to reporters in Nadia district, West Bengal, on Thursday. While PTI has not independently verified the authenticity of the video containing the statement, it has sparked widespread outrage.

The complainant argues that Moitra’s remarks are objectionable and unconstitutional. Samanto’s complaint also highlights the presence of a significant number of Bangladeshi refugees in the Mana Camp area of Raipur since 1971, arguing that Moitra’s statement has instilled fear among them, potentially inciting anger from other communities.

Moitra has previously accused the Union government of failing to adequately address border security issues. The investigation into the FIR is currently underway.
