According to sources, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee intervened during the ED raid on the premises of I-PAC on Thursday (January 8). Mamta Banerjee took the phone of I-PAC official Prateek Jain in her hand on the spot and kept it with herself.
This entire incident came to light when ED in Kolkata raided the premises of political consulting firm I-PAC as part of a money laundering investigation. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has reacted sharply to this and has accused TMC of theft of documents.
Threat of arrest to ED officials
Not only this, sources also say that the DGP told three ED officers not to record anything in the Panchnama and to show that nothing has been recovered. If not then they will arrest the ED officials. ED officials say that there were three ED officers at that time while on the other hand dozens of police officers and the team of Z Security given to the CM were present.
‘Forced to make changes in documents’
According to ED sources, an attempt was made to intimidate the officers and prevent them from writing the real thing in the report. Sources also claim that the DGP told the ED officials that now we will file an FIR and arrest you people. Sources say that independent witnesses were also present there. Kolkata Police and CM’s staff also tried to harass and intimidate him. According to sources, Enforcement Directorate officials say that they faced pressure and threats throughout the operation and were forced to make changes in official documents under pressure.
What did Mamta Banerjee say
At the same time, Mamata Banerjee rejected the ED’s statement outright. He claimed that the ED was trying to seize internal data, hard disks and strategy documents related to the election planning of Trinamool Congress, which had nothing to do with the money laundering investigation. Mamta termed the raid politically motivated and called it unconstitutional and an attempt to seize party data.
