The police here have served a notice on TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee in connection with a scuffle between officials and private guards of his office over removing a billboard bearing party signage earlier this week, a senior officer said on Sunday.

The notice was handed over to Banerjee at his residence here late on Saturday evening.
