The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Trinamool Congress leader Shankar Adhya in connection with an alleged ration distribution scam in West Bengal. Adhya, former chairman of Bangaon municipality, was apprehended after a 17-hour search on his premises. Tensions escalated as his supporters reportedly obstructed investigators, leading to a clash with CRPF personnel. The ED claims nearly 30% of the Public Distribution System ration meant for beneficiaries was diverted. This development follows an attack on an ED team during a raid on another TMC leader's residence. Adhya asserts cooperation with the ED, while investigations continue.
