India's Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned two West Bengal officials for questioning as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation into an alleged criminal syndicate. The agency is probing the syndicate's purported links to illegal activities including land grabbing, extortion, and coal smuggling.
The summoned individuals are reported to be a district magistrate and a police superintendent. The ED's actions follow earlier raids and arrests connected to the case, which has drawn significant political attention in the state.
The investigation is examining the alleged flow of illicit funds and the syndicate's operations. The ED, which enforces anti-money laundering laws, has not released further details on the specific allegations against the summoned officials at this stage.
