The Enforcement Directorate (ED) intensified its efforts against illegal coal mining in West Bengal, executing searches across multiple locations as part of a money laundering investigation.
The probe includes about ten sites, notably involving Manoranjan Mondal, a state police official, all scrutinized under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
This investigation runs parallel to another coal-related inquiry conducted by the federal agency last month, during which offices linked to political consultancy firm I-PAC were searched in Kolkata.
