The Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials arrested ex-Bongaon Municipality Chairman and TMC leader Shankar Adhya today in connection with an alleged ration scam case. This arrest comes after an extensive search of his premises in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district, which comes a day after an ED team was attacked during raids in the case.
According to ED officials, while the raid was underway, the Trinamool Congress leader’s supporters started protesting outside the leader’s residence, and later on, a mob attacked ED officials and destroyed their cars.
After the attack, a member of the raiding ED team said, “Eight people came to the spot. We three moved from the incident spot; they attacked us.” Further, the Trinamool Congress leader claimed that provocation was the reason behind the attack on the Enforcement Directorate (ED) team in West Bengal.
Reacting to the arrest, TMC leader Kunal Ghosh also claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is behind the Central Agency’s purported efforts to undermine his party’s leader.
