West Bengal Chief Secretary Nandini Chakraborty and Principal Secretary Manoj Pant faced criticism for accompanying Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during an Enforcement Directorate raid at I-PAC's Kolkata office. Former bureaucrats deemed their presence "gross misconduct" and a breach of administrative conduct, citing a lack of necessity and precedent. Banerjee stated she was present as the chairperson of the Trinamool Congress party. This incident contrasts with past instances where top officials did not accompany Chief Ministers to party-related events or raids.
