ED Raids Premises Of Ex-West Bengal Minister, Others In PMLA Case
Enforcement Directorate initiates simultaneous searches in connection with an ongoing money laundering investigation
Summary
The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday searched the premises of former West Bengal minister Indranil Sen and others in a money laundering investigation, officials said.
A total of 15 premises were covered during the raids conducted in connection with alleged financial irregularities in an organisation that ran Durga Puja preview shows, they said.
It is alleged that massArt (Mahanirban Road Mass Art Society), led by Sen's wife, collected large sums from the public by falsely claiming the money was for a UNESCO-sponsored entity, and used the funds for personal gain, officials said.
A comment could not be immediately obtained from Sen or massArt on the ED action.
