ED seizes Rs 1.4 crore cash from Kolkata firm involved in coal smuggling
The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday said it has seized Rs 1.4 crore in cash from the premise of a Kolkata-based company and has identified a person who was “handling illegal cash of a minister” allegedly generated from coal smuggling.
The federal probe agency issued a statement saying it raided the premises of the Gajraj Group at Earle Street in West Bengal’s capital Kolkata on Wednesday.
The action, the ED said, was undertaken on the basis of a “specific” intelligence input that a “highly influential political person” was making an attempt to launder the proceeds of crime originating from coal smuggling through his “close confidant” Manjit Singh Grewal alias Jitti Bhai.
