‘Serious indictment’ of Mamata: BJP over Supreme Court observation on ED plea in I-PAC raid caseami
The Supreme Court is intervening in a state police case against federal officials, raising concerns about potential abuse of power.
The Supreme Court has issued a stay on an FIR filed in West Bengal against ED officials who raided the I-PAC office and residence of its director, Pratik Jain. The court also directed the State police to protect CCTV footage from the raids, which took place on January 8th, 2026. The BJP has called the situation a "serious indictment" of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her government, alleging she used state machinery to shield those accused of coal smuggling and money laundering. The court will examine whether State agencies can interfere with central agency investigations into serious offenses.
