Hunt For 4 Cash-Filled Cars Of Sacked Bengal Minister's Aide: Sources

 

The Enforcement Directorate is searching for four cars owned by Arpita Mukherjee, an actor linked to sacked Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee, searches at whose various flats in Kolkata have yielded a record ₹ 50 crore in cash - a record for the probe agency. The cars -- an Audi A4, a Honda City, a Honda CRV, and a Mercedes Benz -- are loaded with cash, sources in the agency said. During the raids, the ED also found a diamond ring at one of Ms Mukherjee's flats with "P" written on it, sources said.

Just one white-coloured Mercedes car was seized by the ED during Ms Mukherjee's arrest, sources said.

The probe agency is scanning CCTV footage and conducting multiple raids to locate the vehicles.

Arpita Mukherjee, a 30-year-old model, actor and Instagrammer, owns several flats for which sale deeds have been found by the ED. The agency has arrested Ms Mukherjee in connection with a school jobs scam. She is a close aide of Trinamool Congress leader Partha Chatterjee.

According to ED officials, Ms Mukherjee owns two flats in Clubtown Heights, in Belgharia area of Kolkata. In the raid conducted at one of these flats on Thursday morning, ED seized nearly ₹ 30 crore in cash and five kilograms of gold ornaments. No recovery was made from the second flat, said the officials of the agency.

On Friday, the probe agency officials had recovered ₹ 21 crore in cash, gold bars worth ₹ 2 crore and a huge amount of foreign exchange from another flat owned by Ms Mukherjee in the Diamond City condo in Kolkata's Tollygunge.

Partha Chatterjee, once close to Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee but now a colossal embarrassment for her, was sacked as a minister and removed from all posts in the Trinamool Congress as evidence of corruption stacked up against him. The former state Education Minister is accused of taking bribes for the recruitment of teachers and staff in state-run schools.    

Arpita Mukherjee was active in the Bengali and Odia film industries between 2008 and 2014. She comes from a middle-class family in Belghoria in the northern suburbs of Kolkata and was into modelling since her college days.

'Ulta CHOR Kotwal Ko Dante',Dilip Ghosh calls TMC 'THICK-SKINNED' - here's why

 

Kolkata: The Partha Chatterjee saga has caused a sensation in Bengal's power corridors with stacks of cash found at Arpita Mukherjee's flat. Arpita is reportedly a close aide of the former Bengal education minister. While BJP has been attacking TMC following the arrest of Arpita and Partha by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Trinamool Congress' National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee has hit back at BJP and accused the party and PM Narendra Modi for the continuous existence of "black money" in India. 

At a meeting, Abhishek said that on November 8, 2016, PM Modi had asked for 50 days and said that if after that, black money is found in the country, he would be ready to face the music. "How did so much black money come despite demonetisation?” asked Abhishek, adding that PM Modi is also to be blamed for the huge amount of cash found in Arpita's flats.

Now BJP MP from Bengal, Dilip Ghosh, has slammed Abhishek for his comments and said instead of rectifying their own mistakes, TMC is hell-bent on blaming BJP. "This is the classic case of 'ulta chor kotwal ko dante'. If the TMC had the intent, they could have recovered the black money from Partha Chatterjee's aide's residence. But that didn't happen, despite them being in power in the state. It was PM Modi who has shown how the evil of black money can be eradicated from India," said the MP, adding, "They (TMC) are so thick-skinned that they can't learn from their mistakes." 

The TMC, which had been distancing itself from its arrested leader Partha Chatterjee, axed him as a minister on Thursday and suspended him from the party leaving it to him to defend himself in the Enforcement Directorate probe into the teacher recruitment scam in which crores of rupees have been seized from residences linked to his aide Arpita Mukherjee. Trinamool Congress' decision to part ways with one of its most senior leaders was announced by party leader Abhishek Banerjee at a press conference in which he said "if anyone commits something wrong then Trinamool Congress will not spare him" and "there will be zero tolerance for corruption".
