KOLKATA: Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday conducted raids across 10 locations in Kolkata in connection with fake Covid-19 vaccination drive, including the residence of Debanjan Deb — the fake IAS officer who is a prime accused in the case. The central investigating agency is also looking into hoarding, profiteering and black marketing of Covid-related essentials.
The ED had in July registered a case in connection with the fake vaccine camp. “We launched a crackdown on those who hoarded Covid-related essentials and indulged in black marketing. Our teams are conducting searches at 10 locations in Kolkata,” an ED official said.
On Wednesday morning, the officials conducted raids at the Madurdaha residence of Deb. Another team reached Lenin Sarani residence of Rahul Bardhan, relative of Deb. Other teams went to Wattgunge, New Alipore and Sarat Bose Road. According to sources, officials have procured incriminating documents regarding the case.
