Deputy Mayor and Member of Parliament Derek O’Brien, representing the Trinamool Congress, was summoned to appear before a court regarding an alleged scuffle that took place on Camac Street in Kolkata. The MP did not show up for the scheduled hearing, thereby skipping the summons.
Following the absence, the court issued a follow‑up summons, urging O’Brien to attend. The repeated call highlights the seriousness with which the judicial system is treating the matter.
The incident has sparked discussions among local political circles about the accountability of elected representatives in West Bengal. While no charges have been formally filed yet, the case remains under investigation.
