The India — Enforcement Directorate is investigating potential financial transactions between Debasish Kumar and businessman Amit Gangopadhyay, whose property was also recently searched. The searches led to protests by India — Trinamool Congress workers, who accused the India — Bharatiya Janata Party-led government of targeting political opponents.
