₹50 crores have been recovered in total from two flats of Arpita Mukherjee. All this money was in cash – in the notes of ₹500, and ₹2,000. Reports claimed in Arpita’s Belgharia flat, cash was found in the washroom as well.
The enforcement directorate so far raided two flats of Arpita Mukherjee said to be a close associate of West Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee and found a huge stash of cash amounting to ₹50 crores, apart from gold, dollars, and some documents. The recoveries are in connection with the teacher appointment scam. Arpita Mukherjee, an actor, and model, who worked in the Bengali and Odia film industry, is in ED custody. She is believed to have disclosed to the investigators Partha Chatterjee had used his flats as a mini bank. The Trinamool has already distanced from the money recovered.
