Anubrata Mondal Viral Audio: ‘Anubrata Didn’t Call,’ AI Theory Takes New Turn as He Skips Questioning Citing Illness – Latest Update

Bolpur, June 1, 2025: A fresh storm of controversy has erupted around Trinamool Congress leader Anubrata Mondal, often referred to as ‘Kestoda’ in Birbhum. The state’s political landscape has been in turmoil since a viral audio clip surfaced, alleging threats and the use of obscene language against Bolpur Police Station’s Inspector-in-Charge (IC) Litan Halder. After Saturday, Anubrata Mondal again failed to appear at the SDPO office today, Sunday (June 1, 2025). However, amidst this controversy, close Trinamool leaders linked to Mondal have made an explosive claim: the viral audio was allegedly created using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, with the opposition BJP being behind it.

Deadline Missed, Skipping Appearance with Illness Claim: A Familiar Pattern

Despite the deadline for appearing before the police passing, Anubrata Mondal did not arrive at the Bolpur SDPO office at the scheduled time of 11:00 AM on Sunday. His lawyers appeared at the SDPO office, citing Mondal’s illness and requesting more time. It’s understood that he could not appear due to severe physical illness and advice for “bed rest.” This isn’t new for Anubrata Mondal; he has previously avoided summons from central investigating agencies (CBI, ED) in the cattle smuggling and post-poll violence cases multiple times, citing health reasons. His lawyers have stated that he is currently undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Kolkata.

The AI Theory: A New Tool for Political Conspiracy?

At the heart of the current controversy is the viral audio clip. In this audio, a voice, claimed to be Anubrata Mondal’s, is alleged to be verbally abusing a police officer in offensive language and making derogatory remarks about the officer’s wife and mother. This incident has caused a significant stir in state politics, particularly raising questions about law and order concerning such alleged behavior towards a police official.

However, a close Trinamool leader of Anubrata Mondal, Gagan Sarkar, has given the controversy an entirely new twist. He directly accused that the audio clip was created using AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology and that the BJP is behind this conspiracy. He claimed, “Mondal did not call anyone, and the voice heard has been created using AI.” Gagan Sarkar further added that recently, voice cloning and deepfake audio creation using AI technology have become very easy, and these are being misused for political gain. If this claim is proven, it would unveil a new and dangerous dimension of cybercrime and political conspiracy. Forensic examination to verify the authenticity of this audio has become critically important.

Summary of Viral Audio and Allegations:

Subject	Allegation/Claim	Current Status/Counter-Claim
Audio Clip	Alleged threats and use of abusive language towards Bolpur IC Litan Halder	Claim by Mondal’s close aides: AI-generated voice cloning, BJP’s political conspiracy. Demand for forensic examination.
Police Summons	Instruction to appear at SDPO office (2nd time)	Anubrata’s absence, request for more time via lawyers citing illness. Currently undergoing treatment at a private hospital.
FIR Filed	Case registered under multiple sections of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including non-bailable ones	Investigation ongoing, attempts to verify audio authenticity, increasing significance of technology misuse allegations.

Trinamool’s Firm Stance and Anubrata’s Swift Apology

As the viral audio clip controversy reached its peak, the Trinamool Congress swiftly adopted a firm stance. The party issued an official statement on Friday (May 30, 2025), strongly condemning Anubrata Mondal’s alleged language towards the police and instructing him to issue an unconditional apology within four hours. A top Trinamool leader, speaking on condition of anonymity, stated that such inappropriate comments tarnish the party’s image, and indiscipline would not be tolerated.

Following the party’s strong position, Anubrata Mondal issued a written apology to Bolpur IC Litan Halder and another letter to Trinamool State President Subrata Bakshi within just 40 minutes. In these letters, he wrote, “I should not have said those words. I am sorry.” He also told the media, “I take various medicines. I heard that the police had beaten a son of one of our Trinamool workers, an innocent boy. That made me lose my temper. I am truly sorry.” However, at the same time, he questioned how his conversation’s audio was leaked and whether there was any conspiracy behind it. This question now adds a new dimension to the AI theory claim.

Police Action and Investigation Progress: Legal Complexities

Based on the viral audio clip and Litan Halder’s complaint, the Bolpur police station has registered an FIR (First Information Report) against Anubrata Mondal under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). These include BNS Sections 224 (obstructing public servant in discharge of public functions and threatening a public servant on duty), 132 (assault or criminal force to deter a public servant from discharge of his duty), 75 (molestation and harassment), and IPC Section 351 (criminal intimidation). Police Superintendent Amandeep stated that some of these sections are non-bailable, meaning Anubrata Mondal might not easily obtain bail if arrested.

After this incident, Anubrata was first summoned to the SDPO office on Saturday morning, but he avoided appearance citing illness. The police then issued a second directive for him to appear at 11:00 AM on Sunday, which he has again skipped. Anubrata’s lawyer has informed the police that he will appear once he recovers. In this situation, the police are discussing their next course of action. According to sources, the police may examine his medical documents if necessary and proceed with legal advice if deemed appropriate.

Past Controversies and Kesto’s Current Situation: A Long Legal Battle

Anubrata Mondal’s history of controversies is not new. He has spent nearly two years in jail after being arrested by the CBI and ED in the cattle smuggling case and the post-poll violence case. Last year (2024), the Supreme Court granted him bail in the cattle smuggling case, but he remained in custody in the ED case. Although he is currently out on bail under various conditions, he remains under surveillance. Recently, he was also removed from the post of Birbhum District Trinamool President, which marks a significant change in the political life of this long-trusted soldier of Mamata Banerjee.

Latest Status of Important Cases Against Anubrata Mondal:

Type of Case	Current Status
Cattle Smuggling Case	Granted bail by the Supreme Court (2024), but ED investigation and judicial process are ongoing.
Post-Poll Violence	Under investigation by the CBI, multiple allegations pending, judicial process has not yet begun.
Viral Audio Controversy	FIR filed, police summons, avoidance of appearance citing illness, claim of AI theory, Trinamool’s order to apologize. Investigation ongoing.

On one hand, his health complications, on the other, multiple legal entanglements, and now the sensational allegation of AI-generated audio – all combined, Anubrata Mondal is going through a difficult period. The political circles are eagerly waiting to see which direction this investigation takes, especially how much the AI theory is proven in the forensic report. Only time will tell whether this incident is a new strategy to corner political opponents or a dangerous example of technology misuse.
