Trailer launch of ‘The Bengal Files’ ‘halted’ by Kolkata Police, claims director Vivek Agnihotri
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Kolkata: The scheduled trailer launch of filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri’s upcoming movie The Bengal Files was allegedly stopped by Kolkata Police on Saturday, sparking controversy and a fresh political row.

According to Agnihotri, the event was set to take place at a five-star hotel in the city during the afternoon. However, just before the scheduled launch, police personnel arrived at the venue and prevented the program from proceeding.

Officers present at the site reportedly refused to offer any official explanation when asked by mediapersons.

Agnihotri, visibly displeased with the development, termed the action as an infringement on democratic rights.

“This is an attack on freedom of expression. The censor board has already cleared the film, and the Calcutta High Court has stayed any ban on it. Yet, the police stopped the trailer launch without any valid reason,” the director alleged.

The Bengal Files is said to explore the communal violence that engulfed undivided Bengal during the 1940s, particularly focusing on the Calcutta riots of 1946—a subject often considered sensitive and politically charged.

Despite the disruption, the makers confirmed that the film remains on track for its theatrical release on September 5.

Meanwhile, Kolkata Police have not issued any official statement on why the event was halted.

The incident has stirred debate over censorship, artistic freedom, and the role of law enforcement in cultural events.
