Raids, resistance, and now a Supreme Court battle. The Enforcement Directorate has moved the top court, accusing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of directly obstructing a central probe linked to her party’s poll strategists. The agency alleges senior state officials disrupted a raid, seized back evidence, and intimidated officers to derail a money laundering investigation. The Trinamool Congress has strongly denied the charges, accusing the ED of misuse of powers and political targeting ahead of the 2026 Assembly polls. As both sides lock horns legally and politically, what began as a raid has escalated into a constitutional showdown.
