ED questions Jyotipriya Mallick on smuggling money in foreign countries
The Enforcement Directorate interrogated Jyotipriya Mallick,
who was caught in the ration distribution scam case. A team of ED went to
Presidency Jail on Wednesday afternoon. The ED officials were in possession of
the court's permission. Based on that, the ED officials interrogated Jyotipriya for about four hours from noon to afternoon. Basically, the ED detectives
questioned how the money of ration distribution corruption was transacted.
Whether Jyotipriya Mallick's money went abroad through
Shankar Aadhya, what contact Jyotipriya or his acquaintances had with Shankar's
organization was asked. ED said that Jyotipriya or Bakibur will be interrogated
again in jail for the purpose of investigation.
It should be noted that the ED arrested Bakibur Rahman first
in the ration corruption case. After that, the Central Investigation Agency
arrested the state minister Jyotipriya Mallik. Shankar Adhya, the former
chairman of Bongaon Municipality, was arrested on January 5. According to ED,
Shankar was arrested based on the letter written by Jyotipriya. The central
investigation agency claims that a huge amount of money was transacted between
the two. However, Shankar dismissed the allegation earlier.
He claimed, "Jyotipriya Mallik never gave him even 100
rupees." However, according to the information that came out in the ED
investigation, Shankar Adhya laundered black money or white money of ration
corruption through forex company. His son's company was also traced in Dubai.
ED claims that billions of rupees have been invested in that organization
through ration corruption. To verify this information, the investigators went
to jail and interrogated Jyotipriya on Wednesday. According to ED sources,
Jyotipriya and even Bakibur can be interrogated again if necessary.
