Kolkata: The ED on Thursday claimed Indranil Sen, a minister during the erstwhile TMC regime, had awarded tenders worth over Rs 85 crore to entities owned by his close associates, who, subsequently, transferred large sums of money to firms controlled by relatives of the leader.
In another significant claim, the ED said that its investigation has revealed that cash deposits of more than Rs 3.8 crore were made into the bank accounts of Sen-owned concern, M/s Octave Records, during his tenure as minister, from where nearly Rs 30 lakh was transferred via banking channels to former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
