It is learned that in October, when the Union Home Minister visited the state for government and party programs, he held a meeting of the BJP party at ICCR. At that time, Mithun Chakraborty had received the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, and the BJP felicitated him on stage.

There, Mithun quoted a dialogue from his film which is allegedly seditious and could disrupt law and order. However, no response has yet been received from the actor regarding the filing of the case. During Union Home Minister Amit Shah's recent visit to Kolkata, Mithun Chakraborty addressed a BJP party meeting held at ICCR.

Some of his comments there have been described as provocative and it has been claimed that it could lead to a deterioration of law and order. Based on that complaint, an FIR was filed at Bowbazar police station on Tuesday night.
