Claim
The Calcutta High Court has expressed strong displeasure over eggs being thrown at Trinamool Congress leaders and ordered FIRs against perpetrators, yet the incidents continue — TMC MP Mahua Moitra was pelted with eggs in Nadia today.
“कोलकाता हाई कोर्ट ने तृणमूल कांग्रेस के नेताओं पर अंडे फेंके जाने की घटनाओं पर सख्त नाराजगी जाहिर की है। कोर्ट ने इस तरह की हरकत करने वालों के खिलाफ एफआईआर दर्ज करने के आदेश दिए हैं। आज नादिया में तृणमूल कांग्रेस के सांसद महुआ मोइत्रा पर अंडे फेंके गए।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Two of the three elements are supported: the Calcutta High Court did express strong disapproval of egg-throwing at TMC leaders (hearing a TMC PIL on July 1, 2026, it said the State must prevent such 'barbarity' and directed the DGP to issue statewide preventive guidelines), and eggs were indeed thrown at TMC MP Mahua Moitra in Nadia district on the broadcast date, July 1, 2026 (per her account, corroborated by video, though police and BJP contest details). However, the specific assertion that the court 'ordered FIRs against perpetrators' is not borne out: contemporaneous legal reporting shows the court ordered DGP guidelines and a State affidavit, while it was the State that told the court FIRs had already been registered wherever complaints were lodged; the bench had earlier declined an interim order. The claim thus overstates the court's directive while its core narrative is substantially true, making it misleading rather than outright inaccurate.
