News Today: Was Mamata Banerjee right in forcibly intervening in ED raid at I-PAC office?

In this Special Report, lawyer Mahesh Jethmalani weighs in on the rising political tensions in West Bengal ahead of the Assembly elections. He slammed the state government’s response to central agency investigations, questioning the use of police force to seize documents from the Enforcement Directorate.

Terming the episode an act of "house trespass and theft," Jethmalani argues that it amounts to criminal intimidation. The discussion also focusses on the Chief Minister’s alleged use of the "victim card" and draws parallels with earlier confrontations involving TMC leaders.

The programme further examines the impending legal battle involving the TMC, the ED and IPAC, and assesses how these developments could shape voter sentiment in the "people’s court."
