The Enforcement Directorate has escalated its tussle with the West Bengal government over the IPAC case, approaching the Supreme Court of India. In its plea, the probe agency claims its ‘right… to conduct a fair investigation has been curtailed by the state machinery’ and has sought a CBI probe into the matter. This move follows raids carried out on IPAC, an organisation associated with the Trinamool Congress. The legal filing details the events of the past few days concerning the case, referencing an Article 32 petition. The ED’s plea alleges that the state machinery, in collusion with others, has shown a complete disregard for the law, drawing parallels to previous legal arguments where the Calcutta police were accused of overreaching their authority.
