The Enforcement Directorate raided the office and residence of political consultancy firm I-PAC in Kolkata on Thursday, prompting West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to intervene and accuse the agency of stealing Trinamool Congress documents ahead of assembly elections. Banerjee described the action as political vendetta and planned a protest rally for Friday. The raids are linked to a money-laundering investigation into an alleged coal pilferage scam.
