The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued a lookout notice against Kolkata Police Deputy Commissioner Shantanu Sinha Biswas in connection with a money laundering case.
The lookout notice was circulated across airports, railway stations, and other transit points to prevent possible attempts by the official to leave the country.
Biswas evaded multiple summonses issued by the agency during the probe, with the ED saying he had been served notices to appear at least five times.
The ED had conducted raids at two premises of the Kolkata Police Deputy Commissioner, including his residence in Ballygunge area, and alleged that Biswas had failed to comply with the multiple summons issued to him.
The case against Biswas is linked to a money laundering case against an alleged local criminal named Biswajit Podder alias Sona Pappu, who is booked in multiple cases on charges of attempted murder and extortion.
The probe was initiated after an FIR was filed by the Kolkata Police against Podder for his alleged involvement in rioting, attempt to murder, criminal conspiracy, and Arms Act violations.
