Kolkata Police recover Rs 8.25 crore cash from CA’s residence in Kolkata; Issued Notice

The Kolkata Police has recovered around Rs 8.15 crore from the house of a chartered accountant. The Detective Department of Kolkata Police has issued a lookout notice against a accused chartered accountant.

CA identified as Sailesh Pandey has been accused of being involved in bank fraud and making big online transactions. On October 15, the Kolkata police’s Anti Bank Fraud division raided Sailesh Pandey’s home in Howrah, Kolkata.

Because Sailesh’s home was locked during the raid on October 15, the police were only able to seize Rs 2 crore from a car there. However, his two bank accounts, each holding Rs 20 crore, were frozen by the police. Also, jewellery were seized by the team.

After the Canara Bank lodged a complaint, the raids were carried out. The bank had been keeping an eye on them for a few days and had discovered numerous questionable transactions.

According to a police source, the accused created two Canara Bank accounts in the names of two different businesses and carried out significant online transactions as part of a criminal plot.
