The Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out raids in West Bengal on Monday as part of its investigation into a fake passport and money laundering racket reportedly linked to a Pakistani national.

ED officers targeted an online passport application centre located in front of the Passport Seva Kendra in Kolkata. According to officials, such external application centres may have facilitated the creation of fraudulent passports.

Earlier in the day, the ED raided the residence of a carpenter, Biplab Sarkar, in Padari village, Chakdaha, Nadia district. His brother and another individual were also questioned. Subsequently, Biplab Sarkar, Binanda Sarkar, and Bipul Sarkar were arrested, with one of them brought to the ED office in Kolkata for further interrogation.
