ED raids senior Kolkata police officer Shantanu Biswas in probe into land grabbing

What Happened

The Enforcement Directorate conducted coordinated raids Sunday on Deputy Commissioner Shantanu Sinha Biswas's residences in Kolkata as part of investigations into land-grabbing and housing scams. Three ED teams searched Biswas's primary residence, secondary properties containing five flats, and Joy Kamdar's residence in Behala. Investigators faced significant delays at search locations. The probe stems from suspicious financial transactions linked to history-sheeter Biswajit Poddar, allegedly connected to ruling party circles.
