Claim
Today, on 2 July, the High Court refused to unfreeze TMC's bank accounts, but questioned the police about why the accounts were frozen so hastily, just a day after the FIR.
“आज यानी 2 जुलाई को हाईकोर्ट ने टीएमसी के बैंक खातों को अनफ्रीज करने से इंकार कर दिया... लेकिन हां पुलिस को पूछा जरूर ये बड़ी जल्दी में तुम लोगों ने फ्रीज कर दिया।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Calcutta High Court reporting confirms that on 2 July 2026 the court declined to pass an interim order unfreezing TMC's three frozen bank accounts, while pointedly questioning the police over the 'hot haste' in freezing them. The FIR was registered on 18 June and the accounts were debit-frozen the next day (19 June), matching the anchor's 'just a day after the FIR.' Both the refusal to unfreeze and the judicial questioning of the hasty freeze are corroborated by LiveLaw, Bar and Bench, Law Trend and Daily Pioneer, making the claim accurate.
