The former chairperson of the Kamakhya Devalaya Board was not spared from the ED’s scrutiny. The Enforcement Directorate conducted an operation at her residence to investigate a financial irregularity involving ₹7.62 crore that took place between 2003 and 2019. This raid was carried out on January 22, Wednesday, specifically for the purpose of investigating the mentioned irregularities.
The ED conducted raids at the homes of several individuals, including Riju Sharma, Navakanta Sharma, and Dhiraj Sharma. During the raids, the team seized insurance policies worth 1.82 crore rupees, along with information related to 27 bank accounts.
It is noteworthy that after a case was registered with the CID, the ED also initiated an investigation into the same case. During the operation, the ED seized many important documents related to movable and immovable assets from the residences of those involved in the operation. The investigating team has obtained evidence of the preparation of documents for a fake business entity. On Thursday, the ED announced the details of the operation through a press release.
