Bengali actress Rituparna Sengupta appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Kolkata on Wednesday as part of the investigation into the multi-crore ration distribution scam.
The ED has asked Sengupta to present specific documents related to her bank transactions.
"We have a few questions for the actress. We will also verify other details, particularly some transactions made through her bank accounts. We need to know the source and destination of those transactions," an ED officer said.
Previously, the ED had summoned the actress for questioning on June 5, but Sengupta, who was in the USA for personal reasons, requested a later date.
This isn't Sengupta's first encounter with the ED. In 2019, she was questioned in connection with the Rose Valley chit fund scam.
Sengupta's involvement in the ongoing investigation has drawn significant attention, given her prominent status in the Bengali film industry. The probe continues as the ED seeks to uncover the full extent of the ration distribution scam.
