The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has once again uncovered a shocking amount of cash in Kolkata, continuing the probe into the high-profile Municipal Recruitment Scam. The latest haul comes from the residence and warehouse of a businessman Vivek Dhandhaniya in the Taratala area.
Sources within the ED have confirmed that the total amount recovered so far has crossed the ₹1.2 crore mark. However, the counting process is still underway, and officials anticipate that the final seizure figure could be substantially higher. The sheer volume of the currency has necessitated the use of counting machines.
The central investigating agency launched the extensive operation yesterday, targeting several premises linked to individuals suspected of involvement in the illegal recruitment activities across various municipalities in West Bengal. The raid on the Taratala businessman's home is a critical component of this broader investigation, which seeks to trace the ultimate beneficiaries of the illicit funds generated through the jobs-for-cash racket.
