TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee Denied Foreign Travel for Eye Treatment

Abhishek Banerjee, a Trinamool Congress member of parliament, was denied permission to travel overseas for eye surgery on Friday. The decision was taken by the authorities after reviewing his pending police case related to alleged intimidation during the 2026 West Bengal Assembly election campaign. Banerjee had sought treatment in a reputed foreign clinic, but the travel ban was imposed citing security concerns. The move has drawn criticism from his party, which says the decision is politically motivated, while opposition leaders have called for a review of the case.
