The controversy surrounding a meme mocking West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has escalated, with the Kolkata Police demanding the identity of the meme s creator. Failure to comply could lead to legal action under section 42 of the Criminal Procedure Code. This demand is not new, as the police have a history of crackdowns on social media content deemed derogatory towards the Chief Minister. The meme controversy adds to the already heated political battle between the ruling Trinamool Congress and the BJP in West Bengal.
