The enforcement directorate has attached assets worth Rs 5 crore belonging to West Bengal based journalist Suman Chattopadhyay and his family members in an alleged chit fund scam, National Herald reported. The assets attached by the ED include bank accounts and duplex flats in and around Kolkata.
Chattopadhyay had been previously arrested by the CBI in a “chit fund scam” in 2018 involving a company called I-Core. He had been jailed for over 400 days without bail or trial. Last year, the ED also filed a supplementary chargesheet against him as part of its probe into the Saradha scam.
