As per the TMC leader’s plea, the ED leaked the details to the media about her being summoned even before she received the summons.
She said that ED also leaked the details of allegations against her and the fact that she had sought more time to appear before the agency.
ED has acted against the procedure prescribed under the law by leaking “confidential, half- baked, speculative/unconfirmed information to the media in relation to the ongoing proceedings /investigation” compromising the investigation, the plea alleged.
“Such leakage of information has hampered the process of the investigation and also violated the rights of the Petitioner such as privacy, dignity of the individual concerned as well as her right to fair investigation.”
