The political atmosphere in West Bengal has reached a fever pitch as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) moves the Calcutta High Court against alleged obstruction during its raid at the I-PAC office.
While the court is set to hear the matter this afternoon, Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari has dropped a political bombshell by claiming a ₹16 crore corruption link to the firm.
Adhikari alleged that illicit funds were funneled into I-PAC's accounts, specifically mentioning check numbers as evidence. He asserted that I-PAC isn’t just a consultancy firm but a vehicle for the TMC’s financial irregularities. “I have the data and check numbers to prove how money was diverted,” Suvendu stated, intensifying the pressure on the ruling party.
The TMC, led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, has dismissed these claims as a “pre-planned conspiracy” by the BJP-led Centre to sabotage their election strategy. As the legal battle unfolds in court, the revelation of alleged check numbers adds a new criminal dimension to this high-stakes political drama.
