ED goes to SC, seeks CBI probe against Mamata Banerjee for 17 offences | Complete Analysis

Описание: In a massive political and legal escalation, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has moved the Supreme Court seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and top state police officials. The ED's move comes after alleged "illegal interference" and obstruction during its search operations at the offices of the political consultancy firm I-PAC and the residence of its co-founder Pratik Jain in Kolkata.

The central agency has accused the Chief Minister and state police of intimidating its officers, snatching files, and destroying crucial electronic evidence related to an alleged multi-crore coal pilferage money laundering scam. The ED argues that a fair investigation is impossible under the state police, as the Chief Minister herself is allegedly involved.

Terming the matter a "very serious issue," the Supreme Court has issued notices to Mamata Banerjee and other respondents, seeking their responses within two weeks. In a significant interim order, the apex court also stayed further proceedings in the FIRs registered by the West Bengal Police against the ED officials.

The court has directed that all CCTV footage and storage devices from the incident be preserved. This intensifying legal battle highlights the growing tension between central investigative agencies and state governments, with the Supreme Court stepping in to ensure the rule of law prevails. The Trinamool Congress has labelled the ED's actions as politically motivated.
Stay tuned for live updates and in-depth analysis on this landmark case that could reshape centre-state relations.
