Suri (West Bengal)/IBNS: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Thursday raided a co-operative bank in West Bengal’s Suri where over 50 fake bank accounts linked to cattle smuggling case were operating, media reports said.

According to reports, fake accounts have links with Trinamool leader Anubrata Mandal, who is currently in jail in connection with the cattle smuggling case, the CBI has alleged.

The central investigative agency further accused that the accounts were used to launder 10 crore worth of transactions.

The CBI sleuths have recovered several documents, pen drive and other incriminating articles pertaining to the case, the reports said.

CBI officials are currently quizzing the bank's manager and collecting documents, sources said.

On Wednesday, the Calcutta High Court bench comprising Justices Ajay Kumar Gupta and Joymalya Bagchi rejected Anubrata’s plea seeking bail on grounds that he had been in custody for over 145 days in connection with the case.

The TMC Birbhum district president was arrested by the CBI in connection with the case.

CBI claimed that the TMC strongman might influence witnesses being probed by it.

The HC bench said that the court is not inclined to grant the prayer at this stage.
