The Enforcement Directorate and Income Tax Department are on the cusp of joining the Assam Police in probing financial allegations against Shyamkanu Mahanta, implicated in the passing of Assam's cultural icon, Zubeen Garg.
Assam CID has uncovered more than two decades' worth of alleged financial misconduct attributed to Mahanta during his stint at a non-banking financial company. The probe into his alleged acquisition of benami properties is getting some traction as CID engaged with ED and I-T Department officials.
Incriminating materials, including multiple PAN cards and stamps linked to various entities, were seized during raids. With over 60 FIRs filed across Assam, Mahanta's financial dealings are under intense scrutiny, particularly concerning unexplained loans given to DSS E-Connect Ltd.
