The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrests former police officer Manoranjan Mondal in connection with a coal smuggling probe in West Bengal, according to multiple reports. The ED had sought to question Mondal as part of the investigation and had issued summons for questioning. Both outlets report that Mondal did not appear even after repeated calls to attend questioning.
Following his non-appearance, the ED proceeds with the arrest as part of its efforts to investigate alleged irregularities related to coal smuggling. The reports describe the case as a probe in which Mondal is treated as a suspect, linking him to the broader matter under ED scrutiny.
Neither report provides additional details on the specific allegations, the evidence cited by the ED, or the immediate court process following the arrest. The reporting focuses on the arrest and the sequence leading up to it, particularly Mondal’s failure to respond to summons before the ED takes enforcement action.
