ED Raids IPAC: Mamata Enters Raid Site, BJP Cries Obstruction | To The Point with Preeti Choudhry

0 January 8, 2026 11:44

On this Special Report of ‘To The Point’, host Preeti Choudhury examines the political firestorm in West Bengal following Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids on the offices of IPAC and the residence of its head, Pratik Jain. The raids, linked to a 2020 coal scam case involving Anoop Majhi, took place just three months before the 2026 state elections. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee sparked controversy by entering the IPAC premises during the operation and leaving with files, an act the BJP termed as ‘obstructing an ongoing investigation’. Banerjee hit back, stating, ‘Because of election, they are collecting all my information of my party.’ The programme features a debate between TMC spokesperson Tauseef Rehman, BJP’s Tuhin Sinha, and analyst Shikha Mukherjee regarding the alleged weaponisation of central agencies. The discussion highlights the long-standing association between the TMC and IPAC, originally founded by Prashant Kishor, and the pattern of agency actions occurring shortly before major Indian elections.
