    West Bengal: ED Claims Mamata Hindering Coal Scam Probe; Supreme Court Hearing Underway

    23 hours ago

    The Supreme Court is currently hearing the Enforcement Directorate (ED) case alleging obstruction by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during a probe into the coal scam. ED, represented by Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, presented detailed arguments claiming that Mamata Banerjee, along with senior state police officers, interfered with the legal proceedings of the central agency. Mehta highlighted that during a recent raid at the residence of ED officer Pratik Jain, Mamata Banerjee allegedly removed documents and electronic devices, which the agency claims were related to the ongoing coal scam investigation. The ED submitted photographs to substantiate these claims, stressing the seriousness of the obstruction. The agency argued that such actions demonstrate a recurring pattern where the state government disrupts the work of central investigative agencies. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, representing Mamata Banerjee and the Trinamool Congress, countered that the matter had already been addressed by the Calcutta High Court on January 14. He emphasized the party’s legal rights and questioned the timing of the ED’s raid ahead of elections. The Supreme Court termed the matter serious and indicated notices would be issued to all concerned respondents. The hearing continues, with both sides presenting arguments on the legality and scope of the ED’s actions and the alleged interference by the West Bengal government.
