New Delhi/Kolkata: A legal representative of I-PAC director Rishi Raj Singh appeared before the ED in Delhi on Monday to help the agency extract data from electronic gadgets seized during recent raids, officials said.Founded in 2015, I-PAC provides political consultancy to several parties, including the parties in office in two poll-bound states: TMC in Bengal and the DMK in Tamil Nadu. Its three founding directors are Singh, Vinesh Chandel, who was recently arrested by the ED, and Pratik Jain.Officials said Singh's authorised representative appeared before the investigating officer on his behalf to assist in taking a dump of evidence from gadgets seized during raids conducted against him on April 2.Without naming I-PAC, CM Mamata Banerjee alleged that BJP was using central agencies to try to make the political consultancy agency inactive in Bengal. "You have so many agencies working for you. I have just one. You are still asking it to go away from Bengal. You should feel ashamed," the CM said.TMC national spokesperson Derek O'Brien said: "We are doing well. We are the second largest opposition party in Parliament. We engage agencies. They (BJP) engages 20 more agencies, ED, CBI etc. One must also remember there are young people working... That is why my CM said that that none should face fear over job loss."
