Kolkata, May 15: After a marathon questioning for close to 11 hours, the Enforcement Directorate arrested Deputy Commissioner of Kolkata Police Santanu Sinha Biswas in connection with a fraud and extortion case.
After having skipped four summons, which had led to the ED issuing lookout notices against him, Biswas on Thursday morning reached the ED office in Salt Lake.
Nearly a month ago, on April 19, the Enforcement Directorate had conducted raids at the residence of Biswas and other properties allegedly linked to him. Biswas didn’t cooperate during questioning in connection with the probe into alleged land grabbing, extortion, and financial irregularities linked to the Sona Pappu network.
He repeatedly avoided giving direct replies & so based on the material collected and his conduct during questioning, he was placed under arrest,” an ED said.
