Trinamool Congress MLA Jeevan Krishna Saha, who was recently arrested in connection with a high-profile appointment corruption case in West Bengal, has had ten of his bank accounts frozen by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The agency is investigating the source of the funds that were deposited in Saha's accounts and where they were subsequently sent.
Sources claim that a significant portion of Saha's wealth is concentrated in the Birbhum district of the state, and the CBI is currently trying to estimate the extent of his assets. The agency is also reportedly probing the origin of the alleged bribes that Saha is believed to have received in exchange for providing jobs.
The ten bank accounts in Saha's name that have been frozen are expected to provide crucial evidence for the investigation. Bank officials are currently collating all transaction details and related documents to ascertain any suspicious activity.
After being interrogated for 65 hours, Saha was apprehended by the CBI in Barwan, Murshidabad, on Monday morning.
