In a money laundering investigation connected to the cattle smuggling case, the ED recently attached up to 32 properties worth more than Rs 1.58 crore that belonged to a person who is a close confidant of Mondal.
The ED has questioned Mondal and his daughter Sukanya over this matter. In this instance, the agency (ED) has so far filed two charge sheets and attached assets totaling Rs 20.25 crore.
After a protracted interrogation, the ED detained the TMC Birbhum district president, who is rumoured to be Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s close friend, in November of last year in connection with the alleged multi-crore cattle smuggling case.
