ED raids five Kolkata locations over Trinamool Congress financial dealings
Potential abuse of power and financial irregularities by a political party warrant concern.
Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials conducted raids on five locations in Kolkata, investigating the financial transactions of Trinamool Congress party accounts. The searches focused on alleged dishonest dealings, unlawful money collection, and routing of funds through bank accounts. The ED recovered evidence suggesting that around ₹112 crore was used to purchase an aircraft Embrarer Legacy 600 and a chopper, Augusta 109 SP, potentially funded by foreign sources. Earlier in June, three bank accounts linked to the party were frozen after complaints from defected MPs and MLAs.
