Mamata Banerjee Interrupts ED Raid at I-PAC Chief Pratik Jain's Home, Seizes 'Party Files'

In a dramatic escalation of the political standoff in West Bengal, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee interrupted an ongoing Enforcement Directorate (ED) raid at the residence of I-PAC chief Pratik Jain in Kolkata. The India Today report captures the Chief Minister exiting the premises with a 'green file' and a hard disk, alleging that the central agency was being used by the BJP to steal the Trinamool Congress's strategic documents and candidate lists for the upcoming 2026 Assembly elections. Reporters Anupam Mishra and Tapas Sengupta provide ground updates from the I-PAC office and Jain's residence, noting the unprecedented nature of a sitting CM intervening in a central agency's operation. The BJP has criticized the move as unconstitutional interference.
