ED probe against former minister Indranil Sen in fake pass scam

Former minister Indranil Sen has landed in trouble regarding a scam involving the sale of fake passes for the UNESCO-tagged Durga Puja in Kolkata. According to a report by Amar Ujala, an investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has revealed that Indranil Sen allegedly used other means instead of keeping the amount obtained through this scam in his personal bank accounts.

The investigation has disclosed that the former minister used the accounts of his family members and bank accounts of various companies associated with him to hide these financial transactions. It appears that an attempt was made to conceal transactions worth crores of rupees in this manner.

Currently, the ED is conducting a deep investigation into this entire network. The investigative agency is scrutinising these suspicious transactions worth crores of rupees. Along with this, the probe has been intensified to identify other beneficiaries of this scam and those involved in this network.

In this case, the ED had conducted raids at the premises of former minister Indranil Sen to collect evidence and find proof of financial fraud. It is suspected that crores of rupees were earned by selling fake passes, due to which strict action is being taken in this matter.

This entire scam is linked to the passes of the UNESCO-recognised Durga Puja, in which it is alleged that financial gain was obtained by selling passes falsely. The ED is now focusing on linking these financial chains and taking legal action against all involved persons.
