In the alleged video, the man allegedly asked for sexual favours in exchange for getting her a job. The TMC leadership strongly objected to the clip as soon as it entered the public domain and immediately instituted disciplinary action.

According to TMC sources, Abhishek Banerjee, the party’s national general secretary, requested the chairman step down from his position; disciplinary action will be taken against him later.
