Police Paste Court Summons at Absconding Tulu Mondal's Bengal Home
There is a man named Tulu Mondal in West Bengal, India, who the police want to talk to because they think he did bad things.
Tulu is hiding, so the police cannot find him.
The police found a huge amount of money and gold that they say belongs to Tulu.
A family member told the police that the money and gold were Tulu's.
The police went to Tulu's house and stuck a special paper called a court summons on his wall.
The paper tells Tulu to come to court by August 14.
If he does not come, the court will call him a 'runaway offender,' and the police may take away his things.
The police also put out a worldwide notice so Tulu cannot leave the country.
Another government team that checks money crimes is also starting to look into Tulu's case.
Tulu's name came up in a big cattle-smuggling case before, too.
Birbhum District Police pasted a court summons on the sealed residence of absconding stone quarry owner Tulu Mondal (alias Mohammad Nazibuddin) in Suri, Birbhum.
Cash worth Rs 28 crore and 15 kilograms of gold (estimated value around Rs 22 crore) were recovered earlier this month from the home of his close relative Minar Mondal.
Tulu must appear at the Birbhum district court by 10 a.m. on August 14 or be declared a 'proclaimed offender' and face confiscation of his properties.
The arrest warrant against him cites organized crime, destruction of evidence, and criminal breach of trust, and a red-corner notice was issued last week.
The Enforcement Directorate has begun preparing a probe against Tulu, whose name surfaced in the 2022 cattle smuggling case.

Quotes
District Police Officer
Official from Birbhum District Police
“"Since the red‑corner notice had already been issued against him, he will not have the opportunity to legally escape abroad through any international border, be it airport or sea or land. Once he is declared officially as a ‘proclaimed offender’, the next process will be initiating confiscation of all his properties."”
