Guwahati: Enforcement Directorate agents swarmed two homes in Silchar on July 3. Teams from Guwahati and Kolkata hit properties in the Itkhola Ghat and Itkhola Ghaniwala areas at dawn. They brought a heavy security detail to ensure the operation stayed locked down.
Investigators are digging into Mazumdar's bank accounts and asset origins. The agency suspects he funneled wealth through a Myanmar betel nut syndicate. Local sources say he fled his home before agents arrived. He is currently on the run. "Mazumdar left his residence after learning about the ED operation and is currently untraceable," according to local reports.
The agency has not yet confirmed his whereabouts. This is not his first run-in with the law. Assam Police and the state CID previously eyed the businessman during separate investigations. Federal agents have stayed quiet so far. They have not released a formal statement regarding the ongoing raids or specific evidence gathered. The probe remains active as officials work to confirm if the allegations hold water.
