Calcutta High Court Rejects Trinamool Congress Stay Bid in ED Money Laundering Probe
ED probe into alleged money laundering by a political party raises concerns about abuse of power.
The Calcutta High Court refused to stay an Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigation into the Trinamool Congress's party funds. On June 23, the ED registered an Enforcement Case Information Report alleging money laundering through Trinamool accounts based on a Bidhannagar Cyber Crime Police FIR. The ED froze six out of 36 bank accounts and argued that substantial transfers to various entities constituted money laundering. Senior Supreme Court advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, representing the Trinamool Congress, claimed the action was politically motivated and arbitrary. Justice Krishna Rao dismissed these claims, finding no grounds to stay the investigation or freezing orders.
