The Enforcement Directorate (ED) Friday intensified its probe into an alleged immoral trafficking racket operating through bar-cum-restaurants and dance bars in West Bengal.

During the searches, the ED announced the seizure of over Rs 1.01 crore in cash and various digital devices and property documents. “Further, two high-end luxury vehicles – a Land Rover Defender and a Jaguar – were seized under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA),” the ED said in a statement Saturday.

The agency also identified numerous bank accounts allegedly used and operated by the accused and suspects. The coordinated operation also brought a senior TMC figure under scrutiny.

The senior TMC leader’s residence was among those raided, claimed sources. Many more are allegedly involved in running the large-scale sex racket, engaging in women trafficking, and indulging in financial corruption and an illegal liquor trade network.

The seizure of significant assets, including the luxury vehicles and large piles of cash from the politician’s residence, has prompted strong accusations from the Opposition regarding the complicity and knowledge of the TMC top brass in the alleged criminal activities.
