A week after an ED squad en route to TMC strongman Sheikh Shahjahan’s home for a raid was attacked, CRPF teams in riot gear stood guard on Friday as officers from the agency entered the Kolkata residences of three party leaders – Bengal fire services minister Sujit Bose, MLA Tapas Ray and councillor Subodh Chakraborty – for coordinated raids linked to the municipal recruitment scam. The morning knock on the doors of the TMC troika led to a search that continued till evening, with ED camping the longest – 13.5 hours – in Bose’s home.
