The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids in Kolkata following debit restrictions on three Trinamool Congress bank accounts. Transactions worth Rs 150 crore from these accounts are under scrutiny for possible irregularities.
During the raids, incriminating documents were seized, indicating the questionable nature of these transactions. The ED is also investigating accounts of travel agencies and an aviation company involved in these transactions.
The ED’s operations targeted five locations, including the aviation company that provided services to Trinamool Congress leaders for official purposes. Debit restrictions were imposed on the party’s accounts after concerns were raised about possible misuse of funds.
The ED’s probe was initiated after allegations of corruption and extortion proceeds being channeled through these accounts. The matter is now being investigated under money laundering laws.
