Madan Mitra’s elder son Swarup appears before ED for questioning in municipal recruitment scam

Madan Mitra’s elder son Swarup Mitra appeared before the Enforcement Directorate at its CGO Complex office in Kolkata on Thursday where he was interrogated by the central investigating agency on the alleged municipal recruitment scam.

This comes after the central agency had earlier questioned the Kamarhati MLA’s younger son Subharup Mitra for four hours on the same case on Wednesday.

Swarup Mitra arrived at the central agency’s office shortly after 11 am on Thursday along some documents related to the case.

When asked by reporters why he had been summoned to the ED office, Swarup said, “They wanted to know the details of my account. I have brought those details.”

Swarup claimed that there had been no unaccounted transactions involving his bank accounts.

“I have brought all the bank details. I have brought the complete income tax return records dating back to the 2013-14 financial year,” he said. Swarup also assured his cooperation with the investigators.

The ED had summoned Mitra’s two sons, Shubharup and Swarup, as well as his wife, Archana Mitra, in connection with the investigation into the municipal recruitment scam. Madan’s wife, Archana, will be interrogated for Friday.

ED sources claimed that upon entering the office, Swarup was questioned if anyone had given him any money or if any funds had been deposited into his account. Swarup reportedly stated that no such incident had occurred.
