Enforcement Directorate chief Rahul Navin is scheduled to visit Calcutta on Thursday to “review the ongoing probe into the alleged coal smuggling scam” and discuss the security concerns of the local ED establishment, days after chief minister Mamata Banerjee disrupted the agency’s raids in Calcutta. “During his visit, the director will review the ongoing probes by agency officials into several cases in the eastern region, especially the alleged coal smuggling. The agency official added: “The director is also expected to discuss the security concerns of local ED officials.”Navin is expected to meet Bengal governor C.V. Ananda Bose, too. The 1993-batch Indian Revenue Service (Income Tax) official, who earlier served as ED special director, was appointed the agency’s director in August 2024 for two years. In 2024, Navin had visited the ED office in Calcutta immediately after an agency team was attacked in Sandeshkhali when they attempted to question Trinamool strongman Sheikh Shahjahan.
