KOLKATA: Shortly after the arrest of West Bengal minister Jyotipriya Mallick in connection with the multi-crore ration distribution scam, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) took action to freeze his bank accounts, as well as those belonging to his wife and daughter, and seized his mobile phones for forensic examination, according to a senior officer.
The ED has instructed bank authorities to freeze the accounts of the minister, his wife, and daughter and is also investigating whether there are additional bank accounts associated with the minister or his family.
