ED Moves Calcutta HC Against Mamata Over 'Hindrance' in I-PAC Raid

• The Enforcement Directorate moved the Calcutta High Court against West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, alleging obstruction during a raid on I-PAC chief Prateek Jain's house.
• Mamata Banerjee intervened during the raid, taking a laptop, phone, and documents, claiming ED was seizing Trinamool Congress's internal data.
• She accused the ED of political vendetta, stating the raid on her "IT cell in-charge" was unconstitutional and politically motivated.
• I-PAC, a political consultancy, works with TMC and was instrumental in their 2021 Assembly and 2024 Lok Sabha poll success.
• The incident is reminiscent of a 2019 standoff where Mamata intervened during a CBI search at then police commissioner Rajeev Kumar's bungalow.
