Central agencies attack on West Bengal continues

Debjit Mukherjee, Kolkata: The CBI has taken over the investigation into the alleged killing of a BJP activist, named Prasenjit Das, in Kolkata in May last year, officials said on Wednesday. On the Calcutta High Court’s orders to probe post-poll violence in Bengal, the CBI has re-registered a case of abetment to suicide against nine people, including two staffers of the Baguiati Police station, as complained by the victim’s mother to a magistrate, they said.

Assets worth more than Rs 15 crore of two “close associates” of Anup Majee, the alleged kingpin of a coal mining and pilferage-linked money laundering case in West Bengal, have been attached, the ED said Tuesday. The properties belong to Joydeb Mondal and Gurupada Maji, it said.
