Many questions were asked about the property of Anubrata Mandal’s close councillors, CM, businessmen and daughter Sukanya. CBI officials claim that Sehgal has answered some questions. But Anubrata Mandal was also a little more flexible than in the past. He did not remain silent when faced with the question. According to sources, it has been learned that he gave answers like ‘I am looking’, ‘I am looking for’, ‘I will see’. In other words, the allegations of non-cooperation in the investigation were against him from the beginning. Anubrata Mandal’s 14-day jail term has ended.

CBI has accused Anubrata Mandal of being associated with cow smuggling
Anubrata Mandal was arrested by the CBI in the cow smuggling case. Since then, CBI raids are being carried out continuously in various areas of Birbhum. Raids were conducted at the houses of the councilors close to Anubrata Mandal, their CA and their close ones. CBI officials say that very important documents have been found in the raid. During the last hearing, the CBI had claimed that Anubrata Mondal’s former bodyguard Sehgal Hussain had direct links with cow smuggler Inamul Haque.
