The advocate said Abhishek Banerjee’s “reputation is being torn to shreds” due to the media coverage, which is being exploited by Opposition parties.

Bharatiya Janata Party IT cell head Amit Malviya on Saturday took a swipe at Abhishek Banerjee after the Supreme Court on Friday declined the Trinamool Congress MP's request for a gag order restraining media coverage of the proceedings before a single judge of the Calcutta high court monitoring the investigation into an alleged multi-crore Bengal recruitment scam.

Reacting to the news, Amit Malviya, on social media X, wrote, “Abhishek Banerjee, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee’s nephew, wanted media gagged, so that they can’t report on the Calcutta HC proceedings in the Recruitment Scam. Supreme Court rejected the plea. You steal but don’t want the world to know? Convenient.”
