Claim
The very next day, on 20 June, police froze all three TMC bank accounts based on the complaint; the accounts held ₹440 crore.
“इसके अगले ही दिन यानी 20 जून को पुलिस ने शिकायत के आधार पर टीएमसी के तीनों बैंक खातों को फ्रीज कर दिया। इन खातों में कितना पैसा था? 440 करोड़।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Multiple mainstream Indian outlets (AajTak, Business Today, Times Now, The Federal) corroborate every element of the claim: West Bengal police froze three TMC bank accounts, the accounts held around Rs 440 crore, the action was taken on a complaint filed by rebel TMC MLAs, and it occurred on/around 20 June 2026, the day after the MLAs approached the Bidhannagar cyber police station. The one minor qualifier is that it was a 'debit freeze' (withdrawals blocked, credits still allowed) rather than a full freeze, but the amount, number of accounts, complaint basis and date all match, so the claim is substantively accurate.
