A Krishnanagar court issued an arrest warrant against TMC MP Mahua Moitra on August 19, 2026, for failing to appear despite repeated summons in a hate speech case.
The court ordered a report on the warrant's execution to be submitted by August 28, citing the accused's lackadaisical approach to legal proceedings.
The case involves charges under sections including 79 for insulting the modesty of a woman and 353(2) for hate speech, following a complaint filed in Nadia district.
