Credent TV: Days after a sizable stack of notes was discovered in one room of one of her homes, Arpita Mukherjee‘s homes, the close assistant of Bengal’s detained minister Partha Chatterjee, were searched and at least Rs 15 crore in cash, gold jewellery, and bars were found, according to sources in the Enforcement Directorate. This time, according to reports, authorities reportedly retrieved the notes on a shelf at her Belgharia flat on the city’s outskirts. Bank employees are still using note-counting equipment to count the currency on the spot.

According to sources, the ED discovered more papers today that are being scrutinised. An approximately 40-page journal that was found by the authorities during last week’s search might be a key piece of information in the case. The ED has also located a number of property documents that can be used to prove Partha Chatterjee’s guilt.

The arrest of Partha Chatterjee and Arpita Mukherjee took place on Saturday, one day after the discovery of Rs 20 crore from the property. He will be kept by the investigative organisation until August 3.

When he served as Education Minister, Partha Chatterjee, the most senior member of Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s cabinet and a close ally of the chief minister, was charged with participating in the allegedly unlawful hiring of staff members and teachers for government-run schools.

He was detained on Saturday in connection with an alleged money laundering case tied to the teacher recruiting fraud, according to the Enforcement Directorate.
