An NIA team conducted a search operation at the residence of TMC leader Saokat Molla. Reacting to the development, BJP leader and West Bengal Minister Agnimitra Paul stated that agencies such as the NIA and CBI take action only when there are serious allegations and emphasized that no individual is above the law. She further remarked that those who attempt to destabilize or harm Bengal must face legal scrutiny. The search has intensified the political confrontation between the ruling Trinamool Congress and the BJP, with both sides trading sharp accusations over the role of central agencies and the state’s law-and-order situation.
