ED Collects Jyoti Priya Mallick's Handwriting Samples in Ration Scam
The Enforcement Directorate (ED), which investigates financial crimes, is looking into a ration scam.
They collected handwriting samples from a former minister, Jyoti Priya Mallick.
These samples will be examined because of a letter the ED found in a hospital last December.
The letter might have important information about money and people involved in the ration scam.
This helps the ED follow the money trail and find out who was involved in the alleged corruption.
ED collected handwriting samples from Jyoti Priya Mallick on Monday.
The samples are connected to a letter found at SSKM Hospital in December 2023.
A court granted permission for the handwriting examination last month.
The letter allegedly mentions financial transactions and a former municipal chief arrested in the case.
ED sources say the letter contains leads on ration corruption.
