Kolkata high-voltage drama: Why Mamata Banerjee stormed the I-PAC office amid ED raids?
The Enforcement Directorate conducted searches at 15 locations across India in a coal smuggling case, including the I-PAC office in Kolkata. West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee criticized the raids, alleging misuse of central agencies and threats to her party’s IT and strategy data. The BJP stated that ED actions are evidence-based, routine, and unrelated to elections, urging that law enforcement work independently.
