Baseless: TMC on reports of I-PAC shutting ops before Bengal polls

TMC said the reports that I-PAC shut its operations in West Bengal for 20 days are "completely baseless". "IPAC WB team remains fully engaged with AITC, and campaign operations [for Assembly elections] are continuing as planned," TMC said. I-PAC, one of India's biggest political consultancy firms, is under ED scrutiny for money laundering linked to an alleged multi-crore coal scam.
