Anubrata Mondal vs Police
On 30 May 2025, An audio conversation between Anubrata Mondal and Bolpur Police Station IC Liton Halder has been leaked, in which he is heard attacking the police officer in clearly inaudible language. Anubrata initially denied the authenticity of the audio, but later practically admitted it in a letter sent to the party's state president.
Anubrata Mandal's famous apology letter
On 31 May 2025, A letter written by Birbhum's influential Trinamool Congress leader Anubrata Mondal has become a subject of mockery. Though the intention was to apologise to police officials, the language and spelling used in the letter have turned it into a laughingstock. Linguists have remarked that such a distortion of the Bengali language is rarely seen.
The letter reads: “Ami dukkhsito. Didir police-er kache ekbar keno, 100 bar khoma chaite pari.” (Translation: "I am sorry. I can apologise to Didi’s police not once, but a hundred times.")
