Bidhannagar Mayor Krishna Chakraborty resigns, another massive blow to TMC
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has extended its investigation into Trinamool Congress MLA Jiban Krishna Saha’s family following his arrest in a school recruitment scam-related money laundering case. Saha was recently taken into custody as part of the probe, which is now examining the financial transactions and assets of his close relatives.
On Thursday, Saha’s aunt and Barancha Municipality Ward Councillor, Maya Saha, appeared at the ED office in Kolkata for questioning. Before entering the office, she said, “There is no truth to the allegations against me. My husband has a 40-year-old legitimate business, and all our income comes from it. We have no corrupt money.”
ED sources confirmed that the agency is investigating the source of the Saha family’s assets to determine whether they stem from lawful business activities or are connected to funds from the alleged school recruitment scam. The inquiry includes scrutiny of properties, bank accounts, and financial transactions of the MLA’s relatives.
