Calcutta High Court Denies Interim Relief to TMC in ED-Frozen Bank Accounts Case
The Calcutta High Court on July 20 refused interim relief to the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC), declining to lift the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) freeze on three party bank accounts holding around Rs 440 crore. The freeze is part of an ongoing money laundering probe under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, linked to alleged fund transfers to Carewell Aviation India and purchases of an aircraft and helicopter. The court will hear the case further on August 26.
