ED conducting searches at residence of business family in Kolkata

Kolkata, Sep 6 (IANS) An Enforcement Directorate (ED) team was carrying out search operations at the residence of a business family, involved in share trading and money market operations, in north Kolkata since Sunday morning. In this raid, instead of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) personnel, the ED team was escorted by Kolkata Police personnel. It is learnt that a team of ED officials from the central agencys eastern regional office turned up at the Phoolbagan Police Station, under whose jurisdiction the residence of the said business family falls. After completion of the necessary formalities there, a joint team of ED officials and police from the Phoolbagan Police Station arrived at the multi-story building named Shivam located at Kankurgachi. The ED officials are tight-lipped over the exact reason behind the raid and search operations. It is learnt that the residence at which the raid and search operations are being conducted belongs to the Shah family, who are involved in share trading and money market operations. Recently, ED had become active again in West Bengal over a number of money-laundering cases. On September 3, ED officials conducted search operations at multiple locations in Kolkata, as part of a money-laundering investigation linked to an alleged Rs 290 crore bank-loan fraud by a private company. The private company had availed loans from banks to set up a 66 MW power plant in Jharkhand, but the loans were allegedly siphoned off to other group entities and for personal use. On September 2, the ED launched search operations at 14 premises under Section 17 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, in different locations in the country, including Kolkata, as part of an investigation into alleged fraudulent collection at various National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) toll plazas. The searches were carried out in locations across Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Jammu, Madhya Pradesh, the National Capital Region (NCR), as well as Kolkata.

'Heartbreaking news': J'Khand CM Soren mourns passing away of Minister Sudivya Kumar Sonu

Ranchi, Sep 6 (IANS) Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Sunday mourned the death of state minister Sudivya Kumar Sonu, describing him as an elder brother whose departure had left a void in his life that could not be expressed in words. In a post on X, Soren said he received the heartbreaking news of Sudivya Kumar Sonus passing late at night and described the news as extremely difficult to accept. Sonu Bhaiya was not just a senior colleague or political associate to me. He was like an elder brother -- affectionate, guiding, and steadfastly standing by my side in every difficult time, Soren wrote, adding that the moments spent with him and the lessons learned from him would always remain with him. Recalling Sonus association with the Jharkhand movement, the Chief Minister said he had stood with full devotion and strength alongside the late Baba Dishom Guruji. He further stated that as a dedicated soldier of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), Sonu devoted his life to the struggle for Jharkhands identity, rights and pride. His dedication to Jharkhandiyat and his indomitable spirit will always be remembered, Soren wrote. He added, Sonu Bhaiya, your passing is a personal loss for me. Your absence will always be felt. I will carry your affection, your struggles, and your commitment to Jharkhand with me for life. JMM spokesperson Manoj Pandey described the ministers death as deeply sorrowful and deeply painful, saying his untimely departure had created a void in Jharkhand politics that would be difficult to fill. He termed it an immense loss for the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and prayed for peace for his soul. Leader of Opposition in the Jharkhand Assembly Babulal Marandi also expressed shock over the sudden death. Marandi said he initially found the news difficult to believe after learning about it through media reports, before confirming it through his contacts in Giridih. Even though Sudivya Sonu belonged to a different political party, he was from our town, and we had known each other since the beginning, Marandi said, describing him as quite popular and calling his sudden death a shock to his family, society and everyone who knew him. Congress leader Rajesh Thakur described the death as very tragic and said Sudivya Kumar was a close associate. He recalled speaking with him just two or three days ago when the minister was in Bengaluru on an exposure visit related to tourism. Meanwhile, Dr Shahzad Sheikh said the minister was brought to the hospital at around 2:15 am after experiencing chest pain for about two hours. The doctor said he had aspirated after vomiting, requiring immediate intubation to secure his airway. An ECG showed signs of a heart attack, while his blood pressure was unrecordable, the doctor said. Inotropes and vasopressors were started, but around 10 to 15 minutes later, the patient collapsed, and CPR was initiated. Sudivya Kumar Sonu, who held several key portfolios in the Jharkhand government, passed away despite medical efforts. His death has triggered widespread mourning across Giridih and Jharkhand, with political leaders, party workers, officials and members of the public expressing grief over his sudden demise.
