The Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Income Tax Department are expected to collaborate with the Assam Police in their investigation into event manager Shyamkanu Mahanta's alleged financial crimes and acquisition of benami properties. Mahanta is currently accused in connection with the death of Assam's revered cultural figure, Zubeen Garg.
The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Assam Police has uncovered financial irregularities attributed to Mahanta, dating back over two decades to his tenure at a non-banking financial company. Officials from the ED and I-T Department have already visited CID headquarters to scrutinize the case, according to sources familiar with the situation.
The CID has seized various documents and items from Mahanta's residence, raising suspicions of organized financial crimes and money laundering. Mahanta's ties include a notable family background and connections to influential figures, further deepening the investigation's intrigue.
