High political drama unfolded in Kolkata as the Enforcement Directorate carried out raids linked to political consultancy firm I-PAC, triggering a direct confrontation with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The ED searched the residence of senior I-PAC functionary Pratik Jain and the firm’s Salt Lake office, prompting TMC leaders to gather at the site. Mamata Banerjee rushed to Sector V, alleging that the agency seized confidential party documents, including candidate lists and strategy papers. Questioning the legality of the action, she accused the ED of overreach and political interference, and announced a statewide protest. Meanwhile, BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari accused the Chief Minister of obstructing a federal probe. The standoff has intensified political tensions in Bengal.
