TMC MPs Detained, ED Raids Spark Protest in Delhi Ahead of Bengal Elections 2026

Описание: At least eight Trinamool Congress (TMC) Members of Parliament, including Mahua Moitra, Derek O'Brien, Satabdi Roy, and Saket Gokhale, were detained by Delhi Police during a high-profile protest outside the Union Home Ministry and Home Minister Amit Shah's residence.

The protest erupted following Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids conducted on January 8 at the Kolkata offices of I-PAC (Indian Political Action Committee) and the residence of its founder, Pratik Jain.

The TMC has strongly alleged that these raids are politically motivated, aimed at seizing confidential party data ahead of the crucial West Bengal Assembly elections.

Dramatic visuals emerged showing TMC MPs being forcefully dragged and carried to police vans before being taken to Parliament Street Police Station. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee condemned the police action as "arrogance in uniform" and an "assault on democracy," leading a massive protest rally in Kolkata on the same day.

The ED, however, has denied targeting any political party, maintaining that the searches are part of an ongoing money-laundering investigation linked to a coal smuggling case. The agency has also approached the Calcutta High Court, alleging obstruction by Mamata Banerjee and state police during the raids.

The political temperature continues to rise as TMC announces nationwide protests
