West Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose (PTI)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Amid a political ruckus in poll-bound West Bengal following raids by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) at the office of the I-PAC (Indian Political Action Committee), state governor CV Ananda Bose has received a threat email, which read: \u201cWill blast him”, as reported by news agency ANI.<\/em><\/p>\n

West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose received a threatening email stating, \u2018Will Blast Him\u2019. The Governor\u2019s security has been increased. The matter has been briefed to the Union Home Minister and the state police and CRPF are now acting in unison to protect the Governor. A\u2026\u2014 ANI (@ANI) January 8, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, the governor\u2019s security has been heightened, and the matter has been briefed to the Union Home Ministry. A midnight conclave of the security forces in charge of the Governor\u2019s security was also held, said the Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to Governor, as quoted by the agency.<\/p>\n

The incident follows raids by the ED at the Kolkata-based residence of Pratik Jain, the co-founder and director of the I-PAC, which is engaged in political consultancy for West Bengal ruling party Trinamool Congress (TMC).<\/p>\n

Raids were also conducted on Thursday, January 8, at the office of the I-PAC in Kolkata. According to the probe agency, the raids were in connection with a money laundering case linked to coal mining.<\/p>\n

\u2018Politically motivated, unconstitutional\u2019\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amid the raids in the poll-bound state\u2019s capital, high-voltage drama unfolded with Chief Minister and TMC Chief Mamata Banerjee terming them as \u201cpolitically motivated and unconstitutional”.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have raided the residence of our IT chief. They were confiscating my party\u2019s documents and hard disks, which has details about our candidates for the assembly polls. I have brought those back,” news agency PTI<\/em> quoted Mamata Banerjee as saying.<\/p>\n

She alleged that the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state is \u201ctaking away all her party\u2019s documents”. \u201cIs it the duty of Home Minister Amit Shah and the ED to take away all my party documents? If I go to the BJP party office, what will be the result? Under the SIR, 5 lakh names have been deleted. Just because there is an election, they are taking away all my party\u2019s documents,” Banerjee said.<\/p>\n

During the raids, she also \u201crushed” to Pratik Jain\u2019s residence, claiming that the probe agency was attempting to \u201cloot” her party\u2019s hard disks as well as internal documents and sensitive data.<\/p>\n

BJP attacks Mamata\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leader of Opposition in West Bengal assembly, BJP\u2019s Suvendu Adhikari called CM\u00a0 Mamata Banerjee\u2019s visit to I-PAC chief Pratik Jain\u2019s house during the ED raid \u201cunconstitutional and interference” in the central agency\u2019s investigation.<\/p>\n

He demanded that the ED take action against the Chief Minister.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel that the chief minister and the Kolkata police commissioner\u2019s visit was unethical, unconstitutional and direct interference in the central agency\u2019s investigation,” Adhikari told reporters.<\/p>\n

What ED said\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Later in the day, the Directorate of Enforcement released an official statement, emphasising that the raids were \u201cevidence-based”, \u201cnot targeted at any political establishment”.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe search is ongoing at 10 places \u2013 six in West Bengal and four in Delhi”, the ED said, according to a statement shared by ANI.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
