ED to Calcutta HC: TMC, Mamata Banerjee Seized I-PAC Raid Documents

• The ED informed the Calcutta High Court that TMC and Mamata Banerjee removed all materials during I-PAC raids before they could be seized.
• The High Court heard petitions from both ED and TMC regarding searches at I-PAC director Pratik Jain's residence and office.
• ED sought adjournment citing an appeal to the Supreme Court, while TMC sought protection for its data.
• ED stated that no interim relief was needed as TMC itself seized the articles, not the agency.
• The High Court dismissed TMC's plea after ED confirmed nothing was seized from Jain or I-PAC office, attributing the seizure to Mamata Banerjee.
