In one petition against Shyamal Dutta and his wife, the ACC said information had been obtained regarding the acquisition of several movable assets in the names of Shyamal and Sanchita, their daughter, and interest-linked individuals or institutions. During the investigation, no clear or legitimate source of income was found to justify the acquisition of these assets. Therefore, freezing the movable assets is necessary in the interest of a proper investigation. As such, freezing the movable assets is deemed essential for a fair investigation.
