ED summons SI, trader in illegal sand mining case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned SI Manoranjan Mondal, the newly-appointed officer in-charge of Budbud police station and coal and sand dealer Chinmay Mondal of Raniganj in connection with the raids conducted on 3 February at 10 locations simultaneously under the PMLA.

It should be recalled that on 3 February, the ED had for the first time ever raided the house of a police officer in the rank of officer in charge of a police station at Durgapur. Though the CBI and the ED had earlier arrested inspector Ashok Mishra a few years ago, who was the IC of Bankura police station in connection with the illegal coal mining case, but his house was nor searched and he was arrested after repeated summons and grilling.
