‘Can some amount be released from frozen TMC funds?’ SC asks ED on Mamata-led faction’s plea

The Supreme Court questioned the Enforcement Directorate regarding fund release for TMC's daily expenses. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal argued the party cannot pay employee salaries currently. The Enforcement Directorate opposed the submissions, citing an ongoing money laundering investigation. The court is hearing a plea challenging the Calcutta High Court's refusal of interim relief. The Enforcement Directorate froze accounts holding over Rs 440 crore as part of its probe.
