WB: ED team attacked during raid in TMC leader’s house
An Enforcement Directorate (ED) team was attacked and its vehicles damaged in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district when it tried to raid the house of a block level functionary of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) in connection with alleged ration scam, officials of the agency said.
The ED officers accompanied by a few personnel of central forces were conducting raids on the house of Shahjahan Sheikh, a local Trinamool leader when hundreds of locals overpowered them. The ED team was trying to open the gates of the house of the local Trinamool leader when the mob turned violent. ED was conducting raids in connection with the irregularities in the public distribution system. State Minister Jyoti Priya Mallick was arrested by the ED in connection with the scam last year.
