Criminal Investigation Department officials visited the Kolkata residence of Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday, June 9, 2026 [1].
The visit marks a significant escalation in a legal probe into alleged signature forgery involving legislators from the Trinamool Congress. Because the investigation has now reached the private residence and office of the party leader, it suggests the probe is moving toward the highest levels of party administration.
Officials from the CID entered the Kalighat residence-cum-office in West Bengal [2]. This action followed a previous search conducted at the Trinamool Congress office [3]. The focus of the investigation remains the alleged forgery of signatures by legislators associated with the party [4].
The operation took place in the Kalighat area of Kolkata [2]. The CID is seeking to determine how the alleged forgeries occurred and whether they were used to facilitate unauthorized party actions, or official documents [4].
While the CID has not released a formal statement regarding specific evidence found during the visit, the presence of investigators at the residence-cum-office indicates the scope of the signature forgery case is widening [2]. The probe continues to examine the roles of various Trinamool Congress legislators in the suspected fraud [4].

The CID's decision to search the residence-cum-office of a top political leader indicates that the forgery probe is no longer limited to low-level legislators. By linking the investigation to the primary seat of party power in Kalighat, authorities are signaling that the legal scrutiny may extend to the administrative processes of the Trinamool Congress itself.
