Cattle smuggling case: Anubrata Mondal’s CA sentenced to 14 days in jail
Manish Kothari was arrested on March 14 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and appeared in Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court on March 15.
A Delhi court on Monday sentenced Manish Kothari, the chartered accountant for TMC leader Anubrata Mondal, to 14 days in judicial custody in the West Bengal cattle smuggling case.
Kothari was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on March 14 and brought before Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court on March 15, where the ED requested seven days custody for interrogation, but the court only granted him five days.
On the last date of hearing, the ED claimed that Kothari was the one who laundered money for Mondal by forming shell companies and routing funds through them.
The CBI launched an investigation after a FIR was filed against Satish Kumar, Mohd Enamul Haque, Mohd Anarul Sk, Golam Mustafa, and other unknown individuals for cattle smuggling.
Following that, the ED registered a money laundering case in connection with the CBI case and filed a main prosecution complaint as well as two supplementary complaints.
