TMC Leader Anubrata Mondal's Daughter Sukanya Arrested By ED In Cattle Smuggling Case

ED sources said that Sukanya Mondal refused to cooperate during several rounds of questioning on Wednesday that eventually led to her arrest.

New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday arrested Sukanya Mondal, daughter of Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Anubrata Mondal in a cattle smuggling case. She was arrested after she failed to provide satisfactory answers to the ED's questions on Wednesday, reported news agency PTI.

Sukanya Mondal was arrested on charges of money laundering related to the alleged cattle smuggling case, PTI reported. She was earlier summoned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) but she did not appear.

The ED during investigation found huge unaccounted properties and bank accounts directly related to Sukanya in connection with the case. ED sources further claimed that Sukanya refused to cooperate during several rounds of questioning on Wednesday, that eventually led to her arrest.

Speaking about Sukanya Mondal’s arrest, TMC general secretary Kunal Ghosh, as quoted by news agency ANI, said, “Sukanya Mondal, daughter of Anubrata Mondal, has been arrested. The law will take its own course. TMC is not defending her but in this particular case we have a point that her mother died 3 months ago, her father is in jail and she is the only child, is there any real requirement to arrest her?”

It is to be noted that the ED had arrested the TMC chief of Birbhum district in November last year to question him about his alleged involvement in the cattle smuggling case. He was in judicial custody after being arrested by the CBI, which had picked him up for questioning in the same case.
