Kolkata: In connection with the multi-crore cash-for-school job case, the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday informed court that they have recovered huge cash and gold from the twin residences of Arpita Mukherjee.
The Enforcement Directorate council infirmed the special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court that Mukherjee, who is currently out on conditional bail now, had confessed during her interrogation by the central agency that the twin residences registered in her name were used by Chatterjee to stock that cash and gold.
The process of framing of charges about all named as accused – some individuals and some corporate entities and trusts – started at the special PMLA court on Thursday.
On Thursday, Chatterjee’s counsel also filed a petition seeking relief from the ED-registered case in the matter.
Chatterjee is the 10th accused in the case to file a relief petition in the matter and earlier this week, nine other accused individuals have filed relief petitions.
The special court has observed that as per rules, the process of charge framing will start with those who have filed relief petitions in the case.
So, accordingly, on Thursday, the process of charge framing started with those 10 accused individuals who have filed relief petitions so far.
After the process of framing of charges is over, the trial process will begin.
Chatterjee and Mukherjee have already been shown as the highest beneficiaries in the total scam amount of Rs 151.26 crore in the cash-for-school job case in the records of the ED as elaborated in its fifth and last supplementary charge sheet.
