Enforcement Directorate acts against Shantanu Sinha Biswas amid money laundering probe.
May 5, 2026: The Enforcement Directorate has issued a lookout notice against Shantanu Sinha Biswas, a Deputy Commissioner with the Kolkata Police, in connection with a money laundering investigation. The alert has been circulated across airports and transit points to prevent him from leaving the country.
According to officials, Biswas failed to respond to at least five summons issued by the agency, raising concerns over non-cooperation. The ED had earlier conducted searches at his premises, including his residence in Ballygunge, but he was not present during the raids.
The case is being probed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and is linked to alleged criminal activities involving a businessman and a local accused. The agency suspects attempts to evade investigation, prompting stricter action to ensure his availability for questioning.
