SIT formed to probe ₹100-crore disproportionate assets case against former TMC councillor

A six-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed by the Bidhannagar Police to investigate allegations against former Trinamool Congress councillor Debraj Chakraborty, who is accused of amassing disproportionate assets worth over ₹100 crore. The SIT, led by a DCP-ranked officer, will examine claims of extortion, land grabbing, organized crime, and illicit investments. These allegations stem from an FIR filed by BJP MLA Tarunjyoti Tewari ahead of the 2026 West Bengal Assembly election, accusing Chakraborty and his wife, Aditi Munshi, of illegal land acquisition and false declarations to the Election Commission. While Chakraborty was arrested near the Bengal-Jharkhand border, Munshi remains under investigation due to a court order requiring her to surrender her passport and cooperate with the inquiry.
