Shantanu's wife claims lack of knowledge about his properties

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is conducting searches on Saturday at four locations of youth leader Shantanu Banerjee, who was shown the way out of the Trinamool Congress after his arrest in the teacher appointment corruption case. At the same time, his wife made a shocking disclosure.

Talking to media persons, Shantanu's wife Priyanka said that she does not know anything about her husband's properties.  Priyanka said that ever since she got married, she has been watching her husband's political relations. There was information about some of his wealth, but she was not aware of all these things.

In response to a question, Priyanka said that at present she has not received any notice of inquiry from any agency. If any such notice is received then she will cooperate in the investigation in every way. Asked about a possible conspiracy behind the ED raid and Shantanu's arrest, she said, "I don't know, Central agencies are doing their work. There is not much to say about this."

It is noteworthy that the ED has claimed in the court that Shantanu bought several properties in the name of his wife.  Even Priyanka is a shareholder in many institutions, in which the amount recovered from the appointment of teachers has been invested.
