The blue two-storied house in the heart of Bolpur town, the epicentre of all political activity in the district till eight months back, wears a deserted look. A few policemen still guard the house which has a small nameplate with several names including that of Anubrata Mondal.
Last August, the Trinamool Congress strongman Anubrata Mondal was arrested for his alleged involvement in the cattle smuggling scam. He is now lodged at Delhi’s Tihar Jail. On April 26, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested his daughter Sukanya Mondal in connection with the cattle smuggling scam on allegations of money laundering. She remains in ED custody in Delhi.
The fact that the police are providing security to a house in which no one lives, highlights the political significance of the house.
