Narada Scam
Enforcement Directorate sends notice to 5 TMC leaders and suspended IPS officer in Narada Scam
Kolkata/UNI/IBNS: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has served notices to five leaders of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and suspended IPS officer SMH Mirza in connection with its ongoing probe into Narada sting operation asking them to furnish details of their accounts as well as of the family members, sources in the Central economic intelligence agency said on Monday.
The TMC leaders who have been served the notice are state transport minister Suvendu Adhikari, senior party leader and MP Saugata Roy, Barasat MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, Arambagh MP Afrin Aparupa Poddar, and former Kolkata Mayor Sovan Chatterjee's estranged wife and TMC organiser Ratna Chatterjee.
Sources said the notice was issued to them after they allegedly did not provide any detail about their property and their immediate family members.
Besides ED, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) following a Supreme Court order has also been probing the Narada scam and the agency had filed an FIR naming 12 TMC leaders and the suspended IPS officer.
Earlier in 2019, CBI had arrested suspended IPS officer Mirza in connection with the same case and he was granted bail by a CBI special court later.
