Reported unevenly

  • Location of arrest described as 'TMC office' versus 'Abhishek Banerjee's residence'stated by hindustantimes.com (describes it as 'TMC office at 121, Kalighat Road'), pragativadi.com (describes it as 'TMC office at 121, Kalighat Road') · absent from indianexpress.com (describes it as 'Banerjee's house' and 'Banerjee's residence'), moneycontrol.com (describes it as 'Banerjee's residence'), newindianexpress.com (describes it as 'latter's Kalighat residence'), thehindu.com (describes it as 'Banerjee's Kalighat residence')

Not yet confirmed against a primary source

  • At 121 Kalighat Road: Was the location where Roy was arrested the TMC office, Abhishek Banerjee's residence, or both? Hindustantimes.com and pragativadi.com call it the 'TMC office,' while other outlets call it Banerjee's 'residence' or 'house.' This may be a difference in how the location is described rather than a factual contradiction, but needs clarification to confirm outlets are describing the same event with consistent geography.
  • Was Sumit Roy 'arrested' or 'detained'? Thehindu.com uses 'detained' in its headline and body, while other outlets use 'arrested.' Verify whether this reflects different legal terminology or differs from how other outlets characterize the same event.
