Feb. 8: Subhra Kundu was questioned at Lalbazar today in the presence of the Mangoe Lane chartered accountant who had allegedly helped her launder money.
Police sources said both were quizzed separately and then together about some financial transactions that the investigating team have found out.
Lalbazar believes that Subhra, wife of Rose Valley boss Gautam Kundu, had laundered about Rs 15 crore in the past six months with the help of the chartered accountant.
According to police sources, Subhra and the chartered accountant both agreed to certain parts of the transactions.
Despite repeated attempts by Metro, Subhra could not be contacted over phone today. Her phones were found switched off and text messages sent to those numbers went unanswered.
Sources said today was the first time Subhra, who has acted in Tollywood films, was questioned at Lalbazar.
Before this, she had been interrogated multiple times - by officers of the special investigation team probing alleged economic offences and those of the special task force - but always in her south Calcutta apartment.
"There were discrepancies in the statements by the two about the transactions whose details were in a digital file saved in a computer at the chartered accountant's office. When questioned face-to-face with the chartered accountant, she (Subhra) initially remained mum. But when she was asked again about some specific transactions in the past six months after the chartered accountant had spilled their details, she nodded," said a source.
Subhra, who was called to Lalbazar in the morning, was questioned for three hours.
During earlier rounds of questioning by the police, Subhra had allegedly claimed ignorance about the transactions amounting to Rs 15 crore.
According to sources, the central agencies probing alleged money laundering related to the Rose Valley group of companies are also on the Rs 15-crore trail.
A cash haul of Rs 1.42 crore and three arrests on December 16 last year had led Calcutta police to the office of the chartered accountant.
