The search teams have requested the cooperation of bank authorities in order to count the money using counting devices.
Additionally, more than twenty mobile phones have been found from Arpita Mukherjee’s residence, and an investigation into their function and use is now underway.

In addition to Chatterjee, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out searches on many other individuals, including Minister of State for Education Paresh C. Adhikary, MLA Manik Bhattacharya, and others.
