KOLKATA: Midnight raids and arrests won’t be able to scare or halt Trinamool, CM Mamata Banerjee thundered on Tuesday, her words coming barely a few hours after ED arrested I-PAC co-founder Vinesh Chandel in New Delhi late on Monday.”If one is arrested, another will take his place. We will continue to fight. It is not so easy to control West Bengal. They are threatening to put people behind bars. I want to see how powerful they are,” the CM said at a rally in West Midnapore’s Pingla, coining the slogan “Delhi theke elo Mota Bhai, shonge ED aar CBI” (Big brother has come from Delhi along with ED and CBI).After polls were announced in Bengal on March 16, ED summoned TMC candidates Debashis Kumar and ministers Sujit Bose and Rathin Ghosh, while NIA summoned 43 TMC workers in Nandigram in a 2024 case.ED and CBI were conducting searches and raids “at midnight”, as “orders are being given to arrest Trinamool workers”, Mamata fumed. “But this will not be an easy task,” she said, adding “if you arrest one, lakhs will come out”. With elections only eight days away, “instructions” have been given to arrest booth agents so that no one can sit at polling stations, the CM alleged.In a hard-hitting post after Chandel’s arrest, TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee wrote on X on Monday night: “The arrest of Vinesh Chandel, co-founder of I-PAC, barely 10 days before the Bengal elections is not just alarming. It shakes the very idea of a level-playing field. At a time when WB should be moving toward free and fair elections, this kind of action sends a chilling message: if you work with the opposition, you could be next. That’s not democracy, that’s intimidation!”He continued: “…even harder to ignore is the double standard. Those facing serious corruption allegations seem to find protection the moment they switch sides, while others are swiftly targeted at politically convenient moments. People are not blind to this anymore.” “This is bigger than one arrest. It is about whether our institutions remain independent and whether every citizen, no matter their political belief, can participate without fear. Because once fear replaces freedom, democracy becomes just a word,” Abhishek wrote.Speaking to reporters, TMC Rajya Sabha MP and party’s national spokesperson Derek O’Brien said the ED action was nothing short of “electoral sabotage”, with less than 9 days to go before the first phase of polls. “ED has now renamed themselves as ‘Extremely Desperate’ by their actions, but despite all these, their political masters, BJP, will end up losing in the Bengal assembly polls,” he said.Mamata, who also addressed rallies at Tamluk in East Midnapore and Domjur in Howrah, urged women to “stand firm” against security forces if attempts are made to prevent people from voting, while asserting that she was not asking anyone to indulge in violence.Questioning why such a large number of central forces were brought to Bengal, she said: “They have brought in officers who are close to BJP and replaced the ICs… If your sole aim was to keep peace, you could have used West Bengal Police. People don’t see central forces during any natural calamity or riots.”Mamata asked people to lodge complaints against any police officer if they were “tortured”. “The job of the central forces is to maintain peace. But what if they prevent people from voting? I will request women to keep brooms in their hands and stand firm against those wearing boots and carrying arms.”End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’Stay Tuned’: US Envoy Sergio Gor Teases Big Moves With Cryptic Post After Modi-Trump Conversation’National Security Is Collective Duty’: Ajit Doval Highlights Key People Power Amid ‘New Awakening”Great Contributors’: How JD Vance Balances Praise For Indian Roots With Criticism Of H1B Visa FraudChhattisgarh: 10 Killed, 23 Injured As Boiler Explodes At Vedanta Power PlantSamrat Chaudhary Becomes Bihar CM: A Political Journey Marked by Setbacks and ReinventionIran Expresses Confidence In India’s BRICS Presidency Amid West Asia ConflictPM Modi, Donald Trump Hold 40-Min Phone Call, Discuss Strait Of Hormuz, West Asia SituationPak Enters Noida?

Jammu: In a case of alleged terror conspiracy, the NIA court in Jammu has declined bail to former J&K Police deputy SP Devinder Singh, who was apprehended in 2020 along with three others, including alleged Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) terrorists.According to the prosecution, Singh was held on Jan 11, 2020, along with three others on the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway. The Hyundai i20 vehicle they were travelling in was intercepted and a large cache of arms and ammunition was allegedly recovered during the operation.Singh claims he has been framed, citing his record of having participated “in around 200 anti-militancy operations over the years and suffering serious bullet injuries in 1998 during one such operation in Budgam, which left him disabled”.He also pleaded that despite his long incarceration since January 11, 2020, only a few witnesses have been examined so far and there has been no direct recovery from his possession.The NIA, however, opposed the bail plea, arguing his regular and interim bail pleas had already been rejected by the trial court as well as by the high court and that there was no change in circumstances.Singh has been booked under the stringent UAPA.On May 20, 2021, a few months after his arrest, the J&K govt had dismissed him from service with immediate effect.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’National Security Is Collective Duty’: Ajit Doval Highlights Key People Power Amid ‘New Awakening”Great Contributors’: How JD Vance Balances Praise For Indian Roots With Criticism Of H1B Visa FraudChhattisgarh: 10 Killed, 23 Injured As Boiler Explodes At Vedanta Power PlantSamrat Chaudhary Becomes Bihar CM: A Political Journey Marked by Setbacks and ReinventionIran Expresses Confidence In India’s BRICS Presidency Amid West Asia ConflictPM Modi, Donald Trump Hold 40-Min Phone Call, Discuss Strait Of Hormuz, West Asia SituationPak Enters Noida?

New Delhi : I-PAC promoter director Vinesh Chandel, arrested here late on Monday, was sent to 10 days of ED custody after being produced around midnight before additional sessions judge at the Patiala House courts, Shefali Barnala Tandon, at her residence. The judge gave her order at 3.30 am.Meanwhile, ED has issued summons to Barbie Jain, wife of I-PAC founder director Pratik Jain, and Pulkit Jain, brother of Pratik, asking them to appear for questioning at the agency’s HQ on Wednesday. The judge noted prima facie evidence of Chandel’s involvement in unaccounted cash transactions and hawala dealings.It was observed that I-PAC promoter director Vinesh Chandel had “instructed deletion of emails and sensitive data, including deletion of financial records” immediately after ED searches on April 2, 2026, adding that “by doing so, the arrestee has deliberately attempted to destroy material evidence and obstruct the course of investigation”.The court recorded that Chandel “knowingly assisted and has been actively involved in the process and activity connected with proceeds of crime, including its concealment, possession, acquisition, use and projection as untainted property”, making him liable under Section 3 of PMLA.Granting ED Chandel’s custody till April 23, it directed CCTV-monitored interrogation and his medical examination every 48 hours.According to agency sources, ED’s money trail in the ongoing investigation in the West Bengal coal scam has tracked hawala transactions allegedly involving I-PAC. Though Chandel’s arrest came on a separate FIR registered by the economic offences wing of the Delhi Police this year, the probe into the coal scam began in Kolkata in 2020.ED had earlier estimated the proceeds of crime from the coal scam at over Rs 1,300 crore. Rujira Banerjee, wife of TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee, is one of the suspects in the case and has been summoned for questioning by ED multiple times. Abhishek, too, has been questioned by ED in the case.“Vinesh, being a founding director and key decision-maker, exercised control over financial and operational affairs of the company and was actively involved in the process of generation of proceeds of crime,” ED has said.The agency accused I-PAC of “splitting receipts between banking channels and unaccounted cash components, which included funds received from political parties”. Among documents seized from I-PAC offices, ED had recovered a note with references to “50% cheque”, which allegedly indicated cash receipts from parties.“These funds were further utilised for election-related expenditure and other purposes, including influencing public perception,” ED said in its remand note, adding that it has found evidence of I-PAC receiving Rs 13.5 crore as “unsecured loans” from Ramasethu Infrastructure, with which it had no substantial business linkages, during 2019-2021.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosSamrat Chaudhary Becomes Bihar CM: A Political Journey Marked by Setbacks and ReinventionIran Expresses Confidence In India’s BRICS Presidency Amid West Asia ConflictPM Modi, Donald Trump Hold 40-Min Phone Call, Discuss Strait Of Hormuz, West Asia SituationPak Enters Noida?
