The central agency sleuths have started approaching the authorities of the banks where this corporate entity had been holding accounts to know the KYC details of these accounts.

ED has already issued a press statement this week that during the raid and search operations early this week their sleuths procured a number of “incriminating documents and digital evidence”.

Bhadra is currently under treatment at a hospital in Kolkata. On last Tuesday after the ED sleuths completed raids at the office of the corporate entity, Bhadra complained of chest pain and had to be shifted to the ICU.
