In a major action on Friday (21 November 2025), ED raided 44 locations simultaneously in the coal scam case in West Bengal and Jharkhand. This action was taken under the Money Laundering Act. ED teams recovered cash and gold and jewelery worth more than Rs 14 crore during these raids. Apart from this, many important documents have been found, which include property papers, agreements related to land purchase and sale, digital devices and book accounts of many companies. These documents are being said to be related to the coal syndicate.

In Jharkhand, ED raided 20 places in Dhanbad and Dumka, which are said to be linked to Lal Bahadur Singh, Anil Goyal, Sanjay Khema, Amar Mandal and their people. Raids were conducted at 24 locations in West Bengal, including Durgapur, Purulia, Howrah and Kolkata. Here raids were conducted on houses, offices, coke plants and illegal toll collection centres. These hideouts are said to be linked to Narendra Khadka, Krishna Murari Kayal, Yudhishthir Ghosh, Raj Kishore Yadav, Lokesh Singh, Chinmay Mandal, Nirad Baran Mandal and others. More than 100 ED officers were involved in this entire operation and CRPF was also deployed for security.

ED investigation based on multiple FIRs

The ED investigation is based on several FIRs, which were registered by West Bengal and Jharkhand Police in cases of illegal coal mining and smuggling. Investigation has revealed that a big network was stealing coal and sending it from Jharkhand to Bengal, that too without any valid document. The records and documents found in the raid have confirmed these allegations.

What did ED find in the raid?

ED has also recovered diaries and registers during the raid, in which complete accounts of illegally recovered money and its distribution are recorded. This also revealed that this syndicate was getting help at the local level. About 7.9 lakh metric tonnes of coal and coal products were found in three coke plants of West Bengal, which are said to be stored illegally. ED has said that the investigation is ongoing and further action may be taken.

Aurangabad railway station of Maharashtra is now Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar… Indian Railways issued notification

Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM)’s displeasure for India Alliance before Bihar Assembly elections has given new political signals. Jharkhand government minister and Giridih MLA Sudivya Kumar Sonu made it clear in the press conference that JMM will not participate in the Bihar assembly elections.

Also, it will not campaign in favor of any candidate of the Grand Alliance. Now it remains to be seen whether the alliance of India Alliance will break in Jharkhand also.

JMM decided not to contest elections in Bihar

Sudivya Kumar said that this decision of the party was taken due to Congress and RJD not following the coalition dharma. He said that JMM was kept entangled in seat distribution and other arrangements in Bihar and at the last moment some such circumstances arose due to which JMM decided not to contest elections in Bihar. The minister alleged that just as Congress and RJD were given support and seats in Jharkhand while playing the role of elder brothers, similarly injustice was done to JMM in Bihar.

Congress did not take any clear stand in favor of JMM

Sudivya Kumar further said that Congress did not take any clear stand in favor of JMM nor did it take any initiative for mediation. For this reason, JMM took the step of not contesting elections in Bihar. He clarified that both RJD and Congress are responsible in this matter.

On October 18, JMM led by Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren had also announced to contest elections independently in Bihar. The party said that it will not be a part of any alliance and will field its candidates only from six assembly seats Chakai, Dhamdaha, Katoria, Manihari, Jamui and Peerpainti. JMM General Secretary Supremo Bhattacharya said that the party’s support base is continuously increasing in these border seats and their main focus will be to raise the issues of tribals and deprived classes prominently.

BJP took a dig at this decision of JMM

BJP state spokesperson Pratul Shah Dev said that JMM has set a new example of shamelessness by changing its stand in the last one week. First he ran away from Bengal, now he ran away from Bihar also. The whole incident reminds of ‘Bhaag JMM Bhaag’.

Analysts believe that JMM’s displeasure and dissatisfaction over seat distribution in Bihar can become a challenge for India Alliance in Jharkhand. The impact of this step will be seen not only in Bihar elections but also on the political situation of the alliance in Jharkhand. If there is no balance in the alliance then the possibility of India Alliance breaking in Jharkhand may also increase.
