TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee demanded that the governor of West Bengal be removed and be charged with a criminal case for obstructing the duties of public servants.

The terms between the Bengal governor and the TMC reached a new low when Dhankar questioned the raids by Kolkata Police at offices of three CAs in Kolkata. These came after an aged middleman, Govind Aggarwal was arrested, and was accused to be a link in a network and web of certain Shell companies. Kolkata is known for the network and the labyrinthine connections between Shell companies and umpteen number of post box companies, the latter being companies whose existence is just a post box in a cramped room.

Referring to inputs from CA fraternity, Dhankar had termed the arrests and raids as politically inspired. This did not go down well with the TMC with the Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee stating that it amounts to influencing the investigation.

Upping the ante, TMC MP from Serampore Hooghly, Kalyan Banerjee, alleged that the Governor had links with criminals in BJP party. The MP further asked Kolkata Police to file a criminal case against Dhankar under sections 186 and sections 189 of the IPC.

Section 186 of the Indian penal code lays out the definition of charges of obstructing the work of public servant and Section 189 defines the threat of injury to public servant.

But, the provisions in the Indian constitution, specifically Article 361 (2) states that neither the President, nor the governors of states can be charged with any criminal case(s) till the time he/she is in office, providing them immunity.

Dhankar has been known to have sour relations with TMC, but this is a new turn when he is trying to meddle into the investigation of the Kolkata Police, and has triggered a barrage of reactions from the TMC leadership in Kolkata.
