In a major setback to the Trinamool Congress, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which is probing the Saradha scam, sealed eminent artist Suvaprasanna’s flat in Mumbai, seized government bonds worth Rs 10.5 crores and Rs 1.5 crore worth property of Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP Srinjoy Bose at Rajarhat and sent a notice to former Trinamool Congress Chhatra Parishad chief Sankudeb Panda on Tuesday.
The ED sealed eminent painter, Suvaprasanna’s flat in Mumbai, in connection with the multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam. Suvaprasanna is known to be a loyalist of West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee. The agency had earlier frozen 24 bank accounts of Suvaprasanna and had summoned him to appear before the agency as he had failed to provide sufficient documents of the Mumbai flat. Since then, Suvaprasanna has not appeared before the agency and is still avoiding further interrogation.
