Kolkata: Enforcement Directorate (ED) sleuths probing the West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) recruitment multi-crore scam, have found that minister Partha Chatterjee had an air-conditioned apartment exclusively for his four pet dogs.
This was found by the ED sleuths while segregating the huge properties and assets that have direct and indirect links with the former education minister and Trinamool Congress secretary general, Partha Chatterjee.
Currently, the ED sleuths are trying to segregate such properties and assets in three categories — properties directly owned by Chatterjee, properties owned by him jointly with his close confidants or aides like Arpita Mukherjee and properties that he gifted to his aides.
While doing this segregation, the ED sleuths were quite amazed to come across a luxurious flat owned by Chatterjee, currently the state commerce & industries minister, which is dedicated to house four pet dogs of the minister.
Incidentally, this pet- dedicated accommodation of the minister, is in the same posh Diamond City Complex at Tollygunge in South Kolkata that houses the residence of his close aide, Arpita Mukherjee, from where the ED recovered huge treasures in forms of Indian and foreign currencies, gold ornaments, sale deeds of multiple flat and other expensive items.
