<h1>FIRs over ED-CRPF raids at political consultancy and home, alleging theft, trespass, IT Act s66 breaches; probe contested</h1> Police registered FIRs against unidentified ED officials and CRPF personnel arising from raids at a political consultancy office and a private residence. The FIRs invoke Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita offences relating to criminal intimidation, theft and criminal trespass, and Section 66 of the Information Technology Act for computer-related offences involving dishonest or fraudulent unauthorised access or data damage, with investigations commenced including a suo motu case; the operative effect is initiation of criminal investigation into the conduct of the search operations and alleged removal or handling of documents and electronic devices. Separately, TMC filed a petition in the Calcutta High Court seeking restraint on alleged misuse or dissemination of documents seized during the searches, while ED moved the High Court seeking transfer of the probe into the raid-related developments to the CBI; the operative effect is parallel judicial scrutiny and potential modification of custodial control and investigative jurisdiction.
