While Bhadra is currently in ED custody, Sil is also in judicial custody for his alleged involvement in the multi-crore school recruitment case. The ED on Monday sent summons to Bhadra’s son-in-law and Sil’s son.

    Sources said that ED officials will question him about his huge assets, which are much more than his income.

    The sleuths of the central agency suspect that there is every possibility that a part of the proceeds in the school recruitment case has been invested in his properties and assets.

    Sources said that under the scanner of ED officials is the source of investment in a petrol pump named Shukla Service Center adjacent to Dugarpur Expressway, where Sil’s son has a partnership. The officials of the central agency can inquire from him about the funds received to start this petrol pump.

    Meanwhile, ED officials have identified a common modus operandi of Bhadra, Sil and Trinamool Congress MLA and former chairman of the West Bengal Board of Primary Education Manik Bhattacharya. The common factor among all three is that they all used their close family members and bank accounts to divert the proceeds of the scam, said an ED associate.

    Bhattacharya, along with his son and wife, are currently in judicial custody for their alleged involvement in the school recruitment case.

    The ED has summoned a Kolkata-based businessman who donated a high-value bungalow worth Rs six crore to Banglar Bondu (Friend of Bengal), a trust run by Bhadra. The businessman whose name has cropped up in the case has a residence very close to Bhadra’s residence in Behala, on the southern outskirts of Kolkata. Bhadra will be produced before a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court on June 14 after his 14-day ED custody is over.
