PTI, Feb 5, 2024, 5:12 PM IST
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday said that TMC leader Shankar Adhya, arrested in connection with an alleged multi-crore ration scam in West Bengal, siphoned off money to a Dubai-based company’s account.
Adhya, the former chairman of the Bangaon Municipality, owns a foreign exchange company in the Petrapole area along the India-Bangladesh border, and his relatives also run “around 90 such companies, which were used to siphon off funds outside the country”, a senior ED official said.
The Trinamool Congress leader had also opened a company in Dubai, registered under his son’s name, with the help of Bakibur Rahaman, another accused in the scam who was arrested in October 2023, the official said.
