Kolkata: The Madhya Pradesh High Court on Wednesday lifted the stay on the arrest warrant against Trinamool Congress (TMC) National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee, paving way for his arrest in the defamation case.
The stay on the warrant against Abhishek, who is the nephew of former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, had been issued by the Bhopal MP-MLA court in November 2025.
The defamation case against Abhishek had been filed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Madhya Pradesh Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya's son Akash in 2021. According to the complaint, Abhishek Banerjee had referred to Akash Vijayvargiya as a “goon” while addressing a rally in Kolkata in 2020.
