A single-judge Bench of the Calcutta High Court, on Wednesday, granted conditional bail to the suspended youth Trinamul Congress leader Kuntal Ghosh who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in January 2023 in connection with the cash-for-school job case.
A spokesperson of the ED said in a press statement on Tuesday that both the accused were produced before the Special Court (PMLA), Ghaziabad on Tuesday.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided the office of a lottery company owner's office-cum-residence and discovered around Rs 3 crore during a 33-hour raid at Lake Market area.
Sources said that the ED officials, on Friday morning, brought a currency counting machine from a nearby bank branch in order to count the cash recovered.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested two Bangladeshi nationals and one Indian for their alleged involvement in facilitating illegal infiltration and human trafficking into India.
According to the sources, the ED sleuths carried a search warrant and a raid is underway at Kejriwal's residence.
Reacting to the development, the BJP has called Kejriwal a "highly corrupt leader" and asked if he would still keep running away from the investigation.
The Enforcement Directorate has asked the TMC leader to appear for questioning on March 11.
The ED had moved the court after Kejriwal evaded its summons on five occassions.
AAP leader Atishi has claimed that the raids were being conducted after her announcement of a big expose on ED.
