Overview

• She submitted bank and property documents as requested and denied any role in corruption, saying the allegations against her are baseless.
• Jiban Krishna Saha was arrested on August 25 from his Burwan residence, remanded to ED custody for six days, and officials recovered a mobile phone he allegedly tried to discard during the operation.
• ED statements and agency sources cite detected transactions totaling about ₹46 lakh across multiple accounts, including transfers to the MLA’s wife and father, as well as properties linked through relatives and an associate.
• The money-laundering case stems from a Calcutta High Court–mandated CBI probe into SSC recruitments, with ED having filed multiple chargesheets and arrested figures such as Partha Chatterjee, while a Kolkata court has also moved to summon minister Chandranath Sinha next month.
