TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee Loses ₹56 Lakh in Major Online Bank Fraud
Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Kalyan Banerjee has reportedly lost ₹56 lakh after scammers gained unauthorised access to his State Bank of India account at the High Court branch in Kolkata. The fraudulent withdrawals came to light when bank officials detected suspicious transactions and promptly alerted authorities.
Following the discovery, SBI lodged a formal complaint with the Kolkata Police’s cybercrime cell. Investigators are now examining the sequence of unauthorised transfers and gathering digital evidence to trace those involved. Details about the scam method or the perpetrators have not yet been released.
Banerjee, who represents the Serampore Lok Sabha constituency, has not issued any public reaction so far. The case once again underscores the growing risk of online financial crimes, even for prominent public figures. Police have stated that further updates will be shared as the investigation progresses.
