‘Home Minister had called to suppress the matter’, Mamata Banerjee’s claim on the murder of Bangladeshi leader created a stir

Former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has made several sensational claims during a public event while referring to a highly publicized murder that took place in Bangladesh. He clearly said that he has every moment of information about that entire matter. Former CM Mamata has claimed that when the accused were arrested, the Union Home Minister had called her and requested her to suppress the entire matter and not make it public. After this statement of Mamata Banerjee, a huge uproar has arisen in the political circles from India to Bangladesh.

Secrets revealed in protest after election defeat

Mamta Banerjee made this shocking statement on Tuesday, June 2, during a protest program organized in the Y-Channel area of ​​Dharmatalla, Kolkata. This statement has come at a time when Trinamool Congress (TMC) has been out of power in the recently held West Bengal Assembly elections. During the dharna, Mamata Banerjee said that the Special Task Force (STF) of West Bengal had arrested the accused in a big murder case related to Bangladesh, which was much discussed in Bangladesh also.

The killers came to India via Meghalaya

According to Mamata Banerjee, the accused in this famous murder case had entered the border of West Bengal through Meghalaya after committing the crime. He claimed that the state’s STF showed promptness and arrested him, which was a major success for the agency. He further said that soon after this high-profile arrest, he received a call from the Home Minister of India.

Asked to keep the matter quiet citing national interest

Mamta Banerjee claimed that she had never said anything publicly on this sensitive topic before today, but now the circumstances have become such that she has to reveal the truth. She said that she is not directly taking the name of the person concerned who made the call as it may further anger the people in Bangladesh. She also added that she loves Bangladesh very much and does not want any kind of tension between the two countries.

When Trinamool Congress workers and supporters present at the protest site insisted him to reveal his name, he flatly refused. After this, Mamata Banerjee claimed that she was asked over the phone to instruct the West Bengal Police that this matter should not come before the media or the public, because it is a matter completely related to national interest.

‘Even today I have everything’

During his address, the former Chief Minister showed a strong attitude and said that he has the complete file of all the people who were made pawns to carry out that murder and which big names came to light during the investigation. He said that even though his government is not in power in West Bengal today, he still knows the entire reality of the entire matter. Mamta also reminded that many confidential information and facts related to her years of political experience are still safe with her.

Stir over claims in Bangladeshi media

After these claims of Mamta Banerjee, many videos are becoming increasingly viral on social media. Bangladesh’s ‘Soju Today’ has posted this statement on its Instagram handle. However, this media outlet directly mentioned the name of the Indian Home Minister in the description of its video, while Mamata Banerjee herself avoided taking the name in her speech. He only said that he had received a call from the Home Minister.

After all, on whose murder did this dispute take place?

Bangladeshi media reports claim that the case that Mamata Banerjee is referring to is actually related to the murder of Bangladesh’s ‘Inquilab Manch’ coordinator Sharif Usman Bin Hadi. Hadi was shot in public in Dhaka last year on 12 December 2025. He died during treatment on December 18 after being seriously injured in this attack. After this massacre, there were huge violent demonstrations in Bangladesh and incidents of arson were also reported in many media institutions. Later it was reported that the suspects of this murder have been arrested from West Bengal, India.

Who was Sharif Osman bin Hadi?

Sharif Osman bin Hadi was a prominent face of Bangladesh’s Inquilab Forum and was considered a staunch critic of India’s policies. He also played a very active role in the big mass movement of 2024 in Bangladesh. Hadi was preparing to contest elections from Dhaka-8 parliamentary constituency as an independent candidate. Meanwhile, on December 12, 2025, when he was campaigning, masked attackers opened fire on him. He was shot in the head, after which he was taken to Singapore for better treatment, where he died six days later.

How were the shooters arrested in India?

After this, in March 2026, the Indian police arrested a Bangladeshi citizen, who was accused of illegally crossing the Indian border into the two main shooters of the murder. Faisal Karim Masood and Alamgir Hussain were named the main accused in this murder case. After the incident, both of them fled from Bangladesh and entered India through Haluaghat border area of ​​Meghalaya. Indian intelligence and security agencies had arrested these two accused on March 8 and currently both are in police custody.

According to STF officials, another person named Philip Sangma was arrested in this case. He is accused of helping Faisal Karim Masood and Alamgir Hussain reach West Bengal safely from the border areas of India.

Why did Mamata Banerjee make this secret revelation?

Now the biggest question arising is that why did Mamata Banerjee make such confidential conversations public despite holding such an important post? Mamata Banerjee’s party TMC, which was ousted from power after the crushing defeat in the West Bengal Assembly elections 2026, seems to be politically disintegrating at the moment. In such a situation, people are speculating on social media whether Mamata Banerjee is trying to put any pressure on the central government through such statements? Whatever may be the reason, but this one statement of his has definitely added some bitterness to the diplomatic relations between the two neighboring countries. Some users on the internet have now started demanding the arrest of Mamata Banerjee.
