A special court in Delhi has remanded Vinesh Chandel, co-founder of I-PAC, to 10 days of ED custody after his arrest in a money laundering case linked to an alleged coal scam in West Bengal, just ahead of the state assembly polls. The Enforcement Directorate’s action follows earlier raids at multiple locations connected to the case, while the probe stems from a 2020 FIR by the Central Bureau of Investigation alleging a multi-crore coal pilferage racket involving Eastern Coalfields Limited. The arrest has sparked political reactions, with Abhishek Banerjee of the Trinamool Congress questioning its timing, as the ED claims funds were routed through hawala channels to I-PAC’s company and investigations continue.
