WBSSC Scam: Company with Arpita as director used to channelise funds, claims ED
ED counsel Phiroze Edulji said the name of the company is Symbiosis Merchants Private Limited. While Arpita Mukherjee is one of the two directors in the company, the other director is her sister's husband, Kalyan Dhar. Edulji informed the court that initially the company's share price was Rs 10 apiece, which skyrocketed to Rs 1,000 per share within a very short span of time. According to Edulji, these are clear indications that the share price of the company was inflated artificially by channelising the proceeds of the WBSSC scam which amounted to around RS 2.70 crore.
