A dramatic face-off has erupted between West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Enforcement Directorate following a controversial raid-day confrontation. Allegations of obstruction, counter-claims of misuse of power, and roaring street protests have pushed the battle from the streets to the courts. With the High Court deferring the matter to January 14, the ED has now moved the Supreme Court, alleging state interference and destruction of evidence, seeking a CBI probe. The Trinamool Congress has hit back, accusing the agency of violating constitutional rights and misusing PMLA provisions. As Bengal inches closer to elections, the clash is fast turning into a high-stakes political flashpoint.
