Calcutta High Court Maintains Freeze on TMC Bank Accounts Amid Ongoing Investigations
The Calcutta High Court has declined to grant immediate relief to the Trinamool Congress (TMC) regarding the freeze on multiple bank accounts linked to investigations by the Cyber Crime Police and Enforcement Directorate under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. The court maintained a controlled interim mechanism, appointing a special officer to oversee essential expenditures while denying permission to operate four frozen accounts holding around Rs 804 crore. The case will be revisited after the Durga Puja vacation with further affidavits from involved parties.
