After finding such a huge amount, the ED officials called for four note counting machines to verify the amount. These machines were ordered from the headquarters of State Bank of India in Kolkata. According to ED sources, the value of the gold bricks found in the house is more than two crores. More assets are expected to be found in the investigation.
Partha Chatterjee, the currently arrested minister by ED, was the education minister when the SSC scam took place. When the ED raided the house of Arpita Mukherjee, who is believed to be close to Chatterjee, at Diamond City Complex on Friday, they found piles of Rs 500 and Rs 2,000 notes. This amount was Rs. 20 crores.

After this new raid BJP“This is just the tip of the iceberg,” Bengal president Sukhanta Mujumdar said on Twitter, targeting the Trinamool Congress.

Partha Chatterjee is currently Minister of Industries and Commerce in Mamata Banerjee’s cabinet. He is not ready to resign even after the ED has taken arrest action. Now it seems that BJP has become aggressive from this matter and it is being said that this matter may become a problem for Mamata Banerjee.
