CBI arrests close relative of Partha Chatterjee – once a HOUSE PAINTER, now the owner of farmhouses, and hotels in DUBAI

SSC Scam Case: Partha Chatterjee’s relative Prasanna Roy owns several hotels not only in Dubai but also in Darjeeling, Uttarakhand, and Puri. Apart from this, the central agency has also found several bighas of land in his name in North Bengal.

The state was shocked to see the mountain of money and properties belonging to Partha Chatterjee and Arpita Mukherjee. Partha Chatterjee’s niece and son-in-law are not far behind. Prasanna Kumar Roy, the second middleman in the SSC scam case was taken into custody by the CBI from New Town on Friday. Allegedly, Dubai hotel owner Prasanna is also connected with SSC recruitment corruption. But his rise is also surprising. According to CBI sources, this Prasanna is the owner of multiple lands and farmhouses in the New Town-Rajarhat area. But according to local sources, he used to be a house painter in his early life. After that, Prasanna became a house painting contractor. Now he is the owner of a hotel in Dubai. He also has at least five farmhouses in the New Town area. 

Partha’s relative Prasanna owns several hotels not only in Dubai but also in Darjeeling, Uttarakhand, and Puri. Apart from this, the central agency has also found several bighas of land in his name in North Bengal. Now the question arises how did Prasanna become the owner of this huge property in just a few years? The central agency is also investigating whether the SSC recruitment corruption money was invested to buy this huge property or not. 

CBI sources said that their sleuths are currently conducting raid and search operations in different places taking Roy along with them. It is learned that Prasanna Roy will be presented at a special court of CBI in Kolkata on Saturday.
