The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has begun the process of freezing at least three bank accounts of suspended TMC leader Partha Chatterjee's associate Arpita Mukherjee, where they have found at least ₹2 crore, a senior official of the agency said on Saturday.
Bank accounts belonging to several "shell companies" of Ms. Mukherjee are also under ED scanner, he said.
"The process of freezing Ms. Mukherjee's three bank accounts has started. A total of around ₹2 crore has been found in these accounts. We suspect these accounts were used to carry out several transactions and further probe is underway," the official said.
