Enforcement Directorate Target Kolkata Money Laundering

  • On Sunday, The Enforcement Directorate conducted raids at residences of Deputy Commissioner Shantanu Sinha Biswas and Sun Enterprise Managing Director Joy Kamdar in Kolkata, investigating a money laundering case linked to alleged criminal Biswajit Podder.
  • The probe stems from a Kolkata Police FIR against Podder for rioting, attempted murder, and Arms Act violations; he remains on the run and has failed to join the investigation.
  • Out of three locations searched, two were associated with Biswas and one belonged to Kamdar under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act provisions.
  • These raids occur ahead of West Bengal Assembly elections spanning 294 constituencies, where The State Election Commission has increased security measures to ensure fair voting.
  • On Saturday, West Bengal Chief Electoral Officer Manoj Kumar Agarwal warned police that no disruption on polling day will be tolerated, with authorities planning strict action against any disturbances.
