Kolkata: ED raids former KPT chairman's office and residence
Kolkata, May 12 (IBNS): Acting on a tip off, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday conducted raids at as many as twelve locations across Kolkata, including the office and residence of former Kolkata Port Trust (KPT) Chairman R. P. S. Kahlon, in connection with a suspected money laundering case, sources said.
The Special Task Force (STF) of Kolkata Police arrested senior IAS officer Kahlon earlier on Mar 9 for his alleged role in corruption and he is out on bail now.
The IAS officer, however, has been placed under suspension.
The investigation teams of ED have seized several documents from these twelve premises, where search operations were conducted on Thursday, ED sources told IBNS.
