The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids on the I-PAC office and its chief's residence in Kolkata as part of a money laundering probe linked to a coal scam. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee intervened during the searches, alleging the ED was attempting to seize confidential party data and election strategy documents. The ED has filed a petition in the Calcutta High Court seeking a CBI probe against Banerjee for allegedly obstructing the investigation and removing evidence. Meanwhile, TMC MPs protested in Delhi against the ED actions and were detained. Both the ED and TMC have filed petitions in the Calcutta High Court, with the TMC seeking to restrain the misuse of seized documents.
