Kolkata Police Raid Offices of Firm Linked to CBI’s Nageswara Rao Day Before Top Cop’s Questioning

A day ahead of Kolkata police commissioner’s questioning by the CBI, Kolkata Police on Friday evening raided two properties of a company it said was linked to Nageswara Rao, the former interim director of CBI.

The police action is likely to be perceived as a **-for-tat response for the attempted search at the house of city police chief Rajeev Kumar this past Sunday, as that was ordered when Rao was still at the helm of the investigative agency.
The company allegedly being probed by the Kolkata police - Angela Mercantiles Pvt Ltd - was raided earlier too after a complaint was filed at the Bowbazar Police Station, said police sources. The raid was carried out at two offices of the company - one in central Kolkata and the other in Salt Lake City.
 

Officially, Kolkata Police said the raid was conducted as the company was not registered as per law.
 

While initial reports stated that AMPL was owned by Rao's wife Mannem Sandhya, the CBI officer in a statement issued a denial. In a statement earlier, he had also explained the financial transactions.

Saying that the firm was not related to his family members, Rao stated he had already clarified regarding this issue through a signed press statement on October 30, 2018. "Further, complete details of all property of my family and mine have already been submitted in my annual property return submitted to the government,” he added.

Police sources alleged that there have been a “series of transactions” between the company and Rao’s wife that are under scanner.

They said there are primarily three transactions – Rs 25 lakh taken as loan by Rao’s wife from the company in 2011-12, Rs 1.5 crore paid to the company in 2012-13 and Rs 14 lakh paid as salary to Rao’s daughter – that are being looked at.

AMPL is a non-banking finance company (NBFC) with its registered office on 5 Clive Row (Dr Rajendra Prasad Sarani). Till October 2018, the registered office was in CA block of Salt Lake City, Sector-I. It was incorporated in February 1994, as per the Regitrar of Company records.

“There are some irregularities in the financial dealings which we are probing,” maintained a police source.

Police are probing as to why Rao’s wife needed the money, what exactly was the nature of the transaction, and what position did his daughter hold at the time of this financial transaction.

The owner of the company, one Praween Agarwal, is also likely to be questioned by Kolkata police at the Lal Bazaar headquarters on Saturday.

This comes just days after the ugly face-off between the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government and the Narendra Modi government at the Centre was triggered by CBI sleuths being detained by police after they showed up at the residence of Kumar, alleging he had destroyed evidence related to the chit fund scams.

Saying that the CBI’s attempted raids were born out of the ruling BJP’s vendetta politics, Banerjee sat on a dharna for three days, and only ended her protest after the Supreme Court protected the top cop from arrest.

But the court had asked that he must join the CBI probe into the chit fund scam and asked him to appear for questioning in Shillong. Both sides had called it a victory. Meanwhile, a new team from the CBI also arrived in Kolkata on Friday with specific orders of investigating the SIT that had probed the Saradha chit fund case.

KOLKATA: 

A day before Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar is to be questioned by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officials, the police on Friday raided two properties of a city firm allegedly linked to CBI former interim director M Nageswara Rao's wife.

The searches were held at the properties of Angela Mercantiles Pvt Ltd, a non-banking finance company, as part of the Kolkata Police's probe into an old complaint.

"There have been a series of transactions between the company and Mannem Sandhya (Nageswara Rao's wife). We are looking into the matter," a police officer told news agency PTI.

Nageswara Rao, in a statement on Friday evening, denied any link of the firm with his family. "In light of certain reports appearing in some media outlets, including some TV channels today linking my family members with a company on which Kolkata Police has carried out raids, I want to state that I had already clarified regarding this issue through a signed press statement on 30th October, 2018," he said.

The timing of the raids may raise some eyebrows as Mr Rao was the interim CBI chief when the order to question the Kolkata Police Commissioner was given to the central probe agency.

Mamata has once again proved that she is as dumb as an idiot. 

CBI has more power than their state’s police and ACB. Entire TMC cabinet and MP’s are involved in sharada and Rose scam. 

More worst things on the way for didi...she has killed an ever uniting opposition forces. If other regional satraps are clever, they would abandon Mamata for good or else they will also be on effected.
