KOLKATA: From the plush accommodation to a makeshift lock-up on the seventh floor of Kolkata’s Enforcement Directorate (ED) office, the change in fortune of Bengal industries minister Partha Chatterjee was quite apparent.
ED sources told The New Indian that Partha Chatterjee is living in a 7 by 8 feet well-furnished room at the office. However, what Chatterjee doesn’t have is an attached toilet.
Sources reveal that Chatterjee is under CCTV surveillance.
Unlike the powerful Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA, his close aide Arpita Mukherjee is being held in the official lock up, but on the same hill.

The ED office in Kolkata has only one permanent lock-up whereas others are makeshift in nature.
Utmost safety is being maintained with both the accused having male and female security personnel outside their respective lock-ups.
Chatterjee, who was a former education minister, was the first one to get arrested by ED after an unsatisfactory questioning session for almost 27 hours.
It is Mukherjee’s flat, at Diamond City, from where ED had recovered ₹21 crores in cash along with jewellery and documents of the Bengal education department. Both are under ED remand till August 3.
