- The Lokpal has dismissed a corruption complaint against rebel TMC MP Arup Chakraborty, the Lok Sabha member from Bankura.
- The Lokpal had directed the CBI on November 21, 2025, to examine six allegations against Chakraborty, and the agency found all of them unsubstantiated.
- A Lokpal bench headed by chairman Justice A M Khanwilkar passed the dismissal order on September 10, noting the alleged activities occurred when Chakraborty was a Member of the Legislative Council and not an MP.
- Chakraborty was among 19 rebel TMC MPs who merged with the Nationalist Citizens Party of India and extended support to the NDA in June this year.
- The outcome closes the anti-corruption watchdog's scrutiny of the complaint, clearing the MP of the charges brought before the Lokpal.
