ED questions Nusrat Jahan for hours at CGO Complex in alleged multi-crore flat scam case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has intensified its investigation into an alleged multi-crore real estate fraud case involving actress and former Member of Parliament Nusrat Jahan. As part of the probe, she appeared at the CGO Complex in Salt Lake, where officials conducted an hours-long interrogation regarding her alleged connection with a private company under scrutiny.

The case is linked to a real estate project reportedly initiated around 2014–15 in Rajarhat and adjoining areas. According to allegations, a private firm collected funds from more than 400 investors, many of them retired and senior citizens, by promising affordable flats. However, complainants claim that despite years passing, neither flats were delivered nor refunds issued, raising suspicion of financial misappropriation.

The ED is now examining the flow of funds collected from buyers and investigating whether the money was diverted to other accounts or used for personal benefit. Agency sources indicated that Nusrat Jahan’s alleged association with the company necessitated detailed questioning to establish her role and trace financial linkages, including scrutiny of bank transactions and company records.

The ongoing investigation has added a political and administrative dimension to the broader scrutiny of financial irregularities in West Bengal. While Nusrat Jahan has previously denied any wrongdoing, the ED is reportedly expanding its probe to identify all individuals connected to the company, with further questioning of other linked persons expected in the coming days.
