A Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader from the party's Mumbai unit has filed a complaint against Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee for "showing utter disrespect to the national anthem" by allegedly singing it while in sitting position and then "abruptly stopping after 4 or 5 verses", during her visit to the city on Wednesday.

BJP Mumbai Secretary Vivekanand Gupta, who filed a police complaint via email to Mumbai Police Commissioner on Wednesday, in a video message said, "Mamata Banerjee has insulted the national anthem. She started the national anthem while sitting, stood up midway and left the verses incomplete."
