The Rouse Avenue Court on Sunday remanded Sukanya Mondal, the daughter of arrested Trinamool Congress leader Anubrata Mondal, in a 12-day judicial custody. Anubrata is also lodged in Tihar jail.
Sukanya was produced before the court virtually and according to sources, the Enforcement Directorate did not ask for Sukanya’s custody anymore.
“Sukanya wanted to talk to her father and friend and if the correctional home officials don’t have any problem then she can talk. During the probe, Sukanya constantly said that everything is known by her father about the cattle smuggling scam,” a source said.
Notably, after skipping several summons, ED on April 26 arrested Sukanya while probing at their headquarters in Delhi.
Sukanya was then produced before the Rouse Avenue Court on April 27 following which the court sent her to a 3-day ED custody, which got over on Sunday.
Earlier, the ED has sought a three-day remand of Sukanya in the court to ascertain their modus operandi in the cattle smuggling scam, and also to know about the proceeds of the crime.
