ED had taken corruption accused Arpita Mukherjee, an aide of sacked minister Partha Chatterjee, to Kolkata hospital for court-ordered checkup
Former Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee's aide Arpita Mukherjee was forcibly taken inside a hospital in Kolkata today for a court-mandated checkup, after she refused to get out of the car.
Actor-Instagrammer Arpita Mukherjee and the since-suspended Trinamool Congress leader Partha Chatterjee — arrested on July 23 in a job scam in the state education department — are supposed to undergo checkups every 48 hours as per court orders.
Officials from the Enforcement Directorate had brought them to ESI Hospital in Joka. At first, Ms Mukherjee did not want to get out. Then, as she got out, she sat in front of the car door. Security personnel were seen trying to convince her. But eventually she was forcibly taken in, on a wheelchair.
Meanwhile, sources said the ED is now looking for four cars owned by Ms Mukherjee after searches at her flats in Kolkata yielded Rs 50 crore in cash. The cars — an Audi A4, a Honda City, a Honda CRV, and a Mercedes — are loaded with cash, sources in the agency said. These are besides a white Mercedes seized by the ED during Ms Mukherjee's arrest, sources said. The probe agency is scanning CCTV footage and conducting multiple raids to locate the vehicles.
