According to officials, the investigation centers on alleged financial irregularities and illicit transactions connected to Poddar’s suspected land-grabbing network. Biswas has come under scrutiny for his alleged links to the case after repeatedly ignoring official summons issued by the investigating agency.
During searches conducted at his residence, ED officials reportedly recovered approximately Rs 10 lakh in cash, gold items, and several documents suspected to be related to questionable financial dealings involving politically exposed persons. The seized materials are now under detailed forensic examination as part of the broader probe.
In a significant development linked to the same case, businessman Jay Kamdar has been arrested for his alleged involvement in facilitating transactions tied to the illicit network under investigation.
The action against the senior police officer comes in the immediate aftermath of a major political shift, following the Bharatiya Janata Party’s sweeping victory in which it secured 207 out of 294 assembly seats on May 4. The timing of the enforcement action has intensified political reactions across the state.
Supporters of the Bharatiya Janata Party have described the crackdown as the beginning of a wider cleanup drive against corruption and illegal land operations. In contrast, allies of the Trinamool Congress have dismissed the action as politically motivated vendetta targeting opposition-linked officials.
The investigation remains ongoing, with enforcement authorities continuing to trace financial links and examine the extent of alleged corruption within the network under scrutiny.
