Calcutta HC pulls up ED as documents miss Abhishek Banerjee’s assets
Hindustan TimesThe Calcutta high court on Monday pulled up the Enforcement Directorate over the documents it submitted related to the assets of Trinamool Congress member of Parliament Abhishek Banerjee, who has been questioned by central investigating agencies in multiple scams, as it showed only three insurance policies and no other assets of him. On September 14, the Calcutta high court had directed the ED to submit property details of Banerjee and his company, Leaps and Bounds Pvt Ltd, the name of which surfaced during the investigation of the multi-crore recruitment scam in state run schools across West Bengal. The court also sought the names and property details of actors whose names are under scanner of the investigating agencies probing the multi-crore recruitment scam. The TMC hit back saying that the ED has a low conviction rate “People are now asking why a judge should become frustrated when the ED is not being able to prove anything against Banerjee.
