ED raids 10 West Bengal sites over alleged illegal call center fraud; separate case targets Lalu Prasad Yadav in land-for-job scam.
The Enforcement Directorate conducted raids on March 16, 2026, at 10 locations in West Bengal, including Siliguri, Howrah, Bidhannagar, and Durgapur, in connection with an alleged illegal call centre operation.
The searches, carried out under the PMLA, targeted individuals linked to suspected fraudulent activities and financial irregularities, including Surashree Kar, Samrat Ghosh, and Subhajit Chakraborty.
Authorities are gathering evidence, including documents and digital devices, to investigate potential scams and illicit financial flows.
In a separate case, the ED told a Delhi court there is enough evidence to charge Lalu Prasad Yadav and others in a land-for-job money laundering scandal, with hearings scheduled from March 23 to 30.
The timing of the raids, ahead of West Bengal’s assembly elections, has drawn attention, though no direct electoral link was confirmed.
