The Supreme Court on Thursday gave a setback to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in connection with the Enforcement Directorate’s raid against the I-PAC in Kolkata and issued a notice to the West Bengal government and state Director General of Police (DGP) Rajeev Kumar over the central probe agency’s plea alleging ‘obstruction’ in probe. A two-judge bench which included Justices Prashant Mishra and Vipul Pancholi also stayed the first information report (FIR) against ED officials who were involved in conducting searches at I-PAC director Pratik Jain’s residence.
