Popular Bengali film actress Rituparna Sengupta has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate on Thursday for questioning in connection with the multi-crore ration distribution scam in West Bengal. According to sources, the actress has been asked to appear at the ED's office located in the central government complex at Salt Lake, on the outskirts of Kolkata on June 5th - which also happens to be the day after the results for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls will be announced.
While there has been no official statement on the matter, it is believed that there may be some links connecting the actress to the ration distribution case in West Bengal. As of now, Sengupta has not responded to the summons. However, this is not the first time that she has been called in by the ED officials. Back in 2019, she was summoned in connection with the multi-crore Rose Valley chit fund scam in West Bengal.
During that time, Sengupta was questioned about her involvement in some entertainment projects of the Rose Valley Group. It was reported that she had even acted in some of the movies produced by the group, which raised suspicion that the films may have been funded by the laundered money from the group's illegal multi-level marketing schemes. These schemes promised the investors high returns on their investments.
In the same case, the ED had also issued summons to another popular Bengali film actor, Prosenjit Chatterjee, in the same year. It seems that the agency is leaving no stone unturned in its investigation into the Rose Valley chit fund scam. As for Sengupta, only time will tell what her involvement in the ration distribution case may be and what the outcome of the ED's interrogation will be.
