KOLKATA: The Enforcement Directorate will appear before the adjudicating authority in New Delhi on Monday to confirm the seventh provisional attachment order in connection with the Rose Valley muddle.
The seventh attachment order, so far the largest in the Rose Valley probe with a market value of more than Rs 2,300 crore, was issued in end-March.
According to sources, a month after company chairman Gautam Kundu’s arrest, ED filed the chargesheet in the case in April 2015 against six people, including Kundu, at a special PMLA court in Kolkata. The chargesheet or prosecution complaint, where proceeds of crime were much lower, was filed on the basis of a Sebi complaint to ED.
The second case was initiated in February 2018 and the prosecution complaint was filed in July. The complaint, in which Kundu, Shibamay Dutta and Amit Banerjee were named, was based on five different cases from places like Tarakeswar, Durgapur and Baguiati. Banerjee got bail in the case.
Some officials in West Bengal Police have sent letter to the Enforcement Directorate, raising questions regarding former Rose Valley investigating officer Manoj Kumar.
Sources said CBI had sent summons to some of the police officers in connection with the Saradha Ponzi probe a fortnight back.
After that, an inspector-rank officer of Kolkata Police sent a letter to the ED director’s office, alleging non-cooperation against Kumar in another case. Kumar, who was the investigating officer in the Rose Valley probe, had been removed after several charges against him.
In a separate development, ED on Tuesday interrogated Shyamapada Samanta and Anupam Dutta, close aides of transport minister Suvendu Adhikari, in connection with the Narada sting operation probe.
During his interrogation, Adhikari had claimed that he was given a donation towards election by Mathew Samuel alias Santosh Shankaran. While he had submitted all necessary documents, ED on Tuesday interrogated his expenditure agent Samanta.
