<h1>Interference by state in central probe of political consultancy searches, triggering judicial review; MHA forms digital-arrest committee</h1> The SC has treated allegations that the West Bengal Chief Minister obstructed a central probe and search at a political consultancy as 'serious' and issued notice to the Chief Minister, thereby initiating judicial scrutiny of whether state law enforcement may lawfully interfere with a central agency's investigation into serious offences; the operative effect is that the SC will adjudicate the legal boundaries of state versus central investigative authority. Separately, the MHA has constituted a high-level committee to examine issues arising from 'digital arrest' scam cases, thereby directing administrative inquiry and policy review into digital-arrest procedures.
