There will be a case for each and every incident. We don’t spare anyone. We are maintaining records.” She claimed, “The officer who takes care of my security has been raided now. Does it mean you want to kill me to grab Bengal? Try it and see if you can.” The ED also arrested Joy Kamdar, who owns a realty firm: Sun Enterprise,
