Cattle smuggling racket: Did Mondal, daughter ‘win’ more than one lottery?
Hindustan TimesThe Central Bureau of Investigation, probing alleged links between a multi-crore cattle smuggling racket and lottery winnings by Trinamool Congress leader Anubrata Mondal, suspects that the Birbhum strongman may have tried to route the proceeds of the crime through lottery prizes more than once, according to officials. Investigations later revealed that two years earlier, in 2019, around ₹10 lakh was deposited in Mondal’s account under the name of a lottery winning. I can’t remember who bought it but it was certainly not Anubrata Mondal,” Sheikh Munna told reporters in Birbhum last Friday while leaving CBI’s camp office. When the lottery company published a newspaper Mondal was arrested by CBI on August 11 in connection with the cattle smuggling probe.
