PTI, Apr 17, 2026, Kolkata: The Income Tax Department on Friday conducted searches at multiple locations in the city, including the residence of TMC MLA Debashis Kumar, who is contesting from Rasbehari Assembly seat, and Miraj Shah, a proposer of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s candidature from Bhabanipur constituency.

The TMC alleged that the raids, conducted days before the voting on April 23 and 29, were intended to "harass and intimidate" the ruling party of West Bengal.

Different groups of Income Tax officials started searching at the residence, the election office and several other properties linked to Kumar around 6 am, and the raids are continuing, an I-T official said.

In simultaneous searches, the premises of Miraj Shah were searched at his Elgin Road residence in south Kolkata.
