Partha Chatterjee had booked two new luxury cars for aide Arpita before arrest.
Enforcement Directorate officials have learnt that minister Partha Chatterjee used to take his close associate Arpita Mukherjee on joyrides in the high-end cars that are now missing from the parking lot of the latter’s south Kolkata flat.
“There were two cars — a Mercedes and a Mini Cooper — belonging to Mukherjee. These vehicles were used by the minister and his aide Mukherjee for joyrides.
ED sleuths have also found that Chatterjee allegedly booked two more luxury vehicles for Arpita and made advance payments for them. These transactions were conducted through two shell companies, an agency official alleged.
