For those unversed, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is currently working on the School Service Commission (SSC) scam and is investigating every new development that is found in the case. And one of the developments had led them directly to actress Arpita Mukherjee. When the ED raided her house, they found Rs. 21.2 crores in cash, gold jewellery worth Rs. 79 lakh, and Rs. 54-lakh forex. Not just that, they even found 22 different mobiles from her house. After this, the actress who was close to the West Bengal Minister Partha Chatterjee was arrested. In fact, ED had previously also arrested Partha Chatterjee in the alleged teacher recruitment scam.
So, who is Arpita Mukherjee?
Arpita Mukherjee was born in a middle-class family in Belghoria in the northern suburbs of the city. After her father died, she got married to a businessman from Jhargram but not much is known about it – especially ever since she returned to Kolkata.
