Rationale
Multiple Indian news outlets confirm that in mid-June 2026 TMC rebel MLAs filed a police complaint (with the Bidhannagar cyber crime unit) demanding an investigation into the source of funds held in TMC's party-linked bank accounts, which led to a freeze on three accounts (~Rs 440-600 cr) on 19 June 2026. The core substance of the claim matches the reporting; the exact filing date carries minor ambiguity (some reports place the FIR on 18 June with the freeze notified 19 June), but 19 June is well-attested as the date the rebels' action against the funds' source occurred, so the claim is substantially accurate.
