KOLKATA: A joint team of CID and the state directorate of economic offences raided a condominium in Jaipur and arrested the daughter and wife of a Ballygunge-based businessman, Shantilal Surana. They have been arrested on charges of misappropriating funds running into several crores. The mother-daughter duo was named in 13 separate FIRs, said DEO sources.
Shantilal, who was arrested last April, shot to prominence as a financial broker and he has multiple properties, including a couple of hotels, in south Kolkata. The allegation against him is that he had duped many senior citizens in the past.
