Kolkata, Nov 18 (NationPress) Mohini Bose, the daughter of state Fire Minister Sujit Bose, visited the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday as part of the ongoing investigation into the alleged corruption surrounding municipal recruitment.
Notably, her husband had been called in for questioning regarding the same case just the day before.
On this day, Mohini arrived at the ED office located at CGO Complex in the Salt Lake area of Kolkata, bringing along pertinent documents. Reports suggest that not only Mohini and her spouse, but also her mother and brother are expected to be summoned later this week, with a deadline to appear at the ED office by Thursday, while carrying their bank documents.
On Monday, her husband, Rahul Singh, spent over an hour at the ED office. According to sources, investigators have recently obtained numerous documents detailing significant financial transactions linked to the municipal recruitment scandal.
The central agency gathered this documentation through extensive searches across various locations in the state. Following the examination of numerous papers, bank transaction records, and electronic data acquired during these searches, it is believed that funds from the alleged recruitment fraud were funneled into multiple businesses connected to the minister's relatives.
To corroborate these findings, the ED has methodically summoned members of Sujit Bose's family.
The ED has been actively investigating the municipal recruitment issue for an extended period. Several individuals, including businessman Ayan Sil, have been detained in connection with the case. Insights gained from their interrogations are inching the ED closer to the core of the corruption.
Sujit Bose's name emerged during the investigation, with allegations linking him to recruitment activities in the South Dum Dum Municipality.
In October, the ED officials executed another raid at the minister's office. They targeted Sujit Bose's office in Salt Lake, the residence of a lawyer in New Alipore, and the house of councilor Nitai Dutta. These raids were part of two separate investigations, including the municipal recruitment case.
During these searches, crucial diaries, digital data, transaction documents, and information pertaining to questionable financial dealings were uncovered. Investigators decided to question the minister's family after thoroughly analyzing these documents.
