Mamata Banerjee's Lawyer Issues Notice Over 2021 Medical Record Disclosure
· India · Times of India, Hindustan Times, Indian Express
Lawyer Arka Nag, representing former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, has sent a legal notice to SSKM Hospital and the Bangur Institute of Neurosciences. The notice demands an explanation for the alleged unauthorized disclosure of Banerjee's 2021 medical records. This follows claims by West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, who recently displayed a report from the Bangur Institute alleging that Banerjee's 2021 leg injury was faked. The legal notice questions how these documents reached Adhikari and whether they were released under any court order. The state government has also announced plans for a fresh inquiry into the 2021 incident.
Why it matters
The dispute over medical privacy and the authenticity of the 2021 injury claims has escalated into a formal legal confrontation between the Trinamool Congress and the state administration.
