The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has seized assets of worth Rs 411 crore in the cases pertaining to irregularities in the ration/public distribution system and the cash-for-school job scam.
It is informed that assets Rs 150 crore were seized in the ration distribution scam, while Rs 230.60 crore worth assets were seized in the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) scam.
In the PDS case, the seizures were made primarily by subjugation of personal assets of the arrested former West Bengal minister of Forest Affairs Jyotipriya Mallick and his aides Shankar Adhya, Bakibur Rahman and Biswajit Das.
Similarly the seizures made in the cash-for-school job scam were obtained from the confiscated properties of the former convener of the screening committee of WBSSC, Santi Prasad Sinha and a man named Prasanna Roy, who play the role of a middleman.
The ED submitted its third supplementary charge sheet at a special court of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in Kolkata in the PDS case on Friday (April 12).
The ED informed the court that the money siphoned as commission in the PDS scam was diverted to Dubai through the hawala route via the foreign exchange entity owned by arrested businessman Biswajit Das.
