The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has conducted raids at Trinamool Congress leader Sheikh Shahjahan's residence in West Bengal's Sandeshkhali in the early hours of Wednesday in connection with the alleged Public Distribution System (PDS) scam case.

Enforcement Directorate is set to question Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren in the land scam case at his official residence in Ranchi today.

The official press release further stated that ED initiated an investigation based on an FIR registered by the ACB, Rajasthan, against Padamchand Jain (Shree Shyam Tubewell Company), Mahesh Mittal ( Shree Ganpati Tubewell Company) and others, including PHED officials.

Enforcement Directorate has been investigating the money laundering case linked to the Rs 312 crore fraud at the ruling CPI(M) controlled Karuvannur Co-operative Bank.

ED's fresh move in the case comes almost two-and-a-half months after it raided 25 locations in Rajasthan including the premises of a senior IAS officer, some engineers, contractors and former state government officials suspected to have links in the case.

Both Mollah and Sardar are accused of direct involvement in the violent attack that targeted the probe agency team during a raid on the residence of Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Shahjahan Sheikh.
