On Monday, August 25, 2025, Jiban Krishna Saha, a Trinamool Congress MLA, found himself in a precarious situation when Enforcement Directorate (ED) officers arrived at his residence in Burwan, Murshidabad district, West Bengal, to conduct raids. The raid was connected to an ongoing investigation into a teachers' recruitment scam.

According to reports, Saha attempted to evade the authorities as they arrived. In his effort to escape, he allegedly threw his mobile phone into a nearby bush or pond, purportedly in an attempt to destroy evidence. Saha was apprehended while allegedly trying to flee his house. He was caught in a field after scaling a wall.

ED officers stated that they recovered the mobile phones. The devices will be sent for forensic examination. The MLA is being interrogated.

This incident adds to a series of events involving political figures and investigative agencies in India. Raids and investigations by agencies like the ED often spark intense political debates, with accusations of political vendettas and misuse of power frequently surfacing. The investigation is ongoing.
