The Diamond Harbour ASP had displayed a haul of Rs 1,02,79,000 seized from a party office in Sarisha. “I have documentary evidence of police cars visiting the office on Nov 2.
Banerjee alleged police planted fabricated evidence to frame his party While the CM described the haul as “an hour’s income” for the kingpin of the illegal financial operation. Police said they had been led to the location by Banerjee’s aide Sumit Roy while he was being questioned. I have evidence to prove how a section of cops is trying to defame me,” he said.
I believe they planted the money then. Kolkata: A war of words ensued between CM Suvendu Adhikari and TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee over the wads of cash found and seized by cops at Sarisha in Diamond Harbour on Wednesday.
“The deliberate planting of fake and fabricated evidence at a property vandalised six months ago by BJP goons… is a brazen attempt to subvert justice, manipulate investigation and misuse the machinery of law,” he said. Abhishek alleged the cash seizure was part of a plot to manufacture evidence against him and his party. The premises were vandalised by BJP workers six months ago by BJP workers and subsequently turned into a crime scene for investigation.
