Nineteen days after an Enforcement Directorate team was assaulted by a mob, ED sleuths again conducted a raid at the residence of absconding TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh in North 24 Parganas district on January 24 morning in connection with its probe into the alleged multi-crore ration distribution scam, an officer said.
Accompanied by over 120 personnel of the central armed police force, the ED officers broke open the collapsible gate of the residence of Mr. Sheikh in the Sandeshkhali area in the presence of local police and two locals as witnesses, the officer said.
"We will search Mr. Sheikh’s house today. We will also try to talk to the residents there", the ED officer told PTI.
