ED Arrests TMC Leader In Alleged Ration Scam. Locals Hold Protest

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday arrested Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Shankar Adhya in an alleged ration scam.

This came a day after the attack on the investigating agency which was on its way to raid the residence of another TMC leader.

The arrest of former chairman of Bangaon took place following extensive searches in the premises linked to him in the North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal.

His wife Jyotsna Adhya asserted that despite full cooperation by his husband with the investigating agency he was arrested.

Locals came on streets to protest against the TMC leader’s arrest as he was taken away by the agency officials.

According to the Enforcement Directorate (ED), around 30% of the Public Distribution System (PDS) ration for the beneficiaries of West Bengal was allegedly diverted to the open markets.
