The
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is conducting raids at three
places in Kolkata on Tuesday in connection with its ongoing probe in a
financial embezzlement scam.
Three teams of the CBI's anti-corruption wing are currently conducting the raid and search operations.
The
first team comprising three CBI officials reached the residence of a
chartered accountant at 255 Jodhpur Park Road in South Kolkata.
The members are also interacting with the chartered accountant and his family members.
The second team comprising five officials, reached the office of the same chartered accountant at Ganesh Chandra Avenue.
The
third team of six officials are raiding the second office of the
chartered accountant adjacent to the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass.
Although
the CBI has remained tight-lipped over its probe, sources said that the
agency on Monday arrested four persons from Birati in North 24 Parganas
district in connection to their alleged involvement in a chit fund
scam.
The raids since Tuesday morning are a continuation of the agency's probe in that scam.
Late
Monday evening, Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials conducted raids
at Finsore Management Service Limited's office at AJC Bose Road.
In
anticipation of recovery of cash from the office, even a bank official,
who carried a currency-counting machine, accompanied them.
