A third charge sheet has been filed against Debraj, a former councillor of the Trinamool Congress, in a case that alleges he was involved in a Rs 100 crore extortion scheme. The latest legal document, submitted to the Kolkata court, lists additional accusations and expands the list of alleged victims, all of whom are reportedly local businesses that claimed to have been forced to pay large sums under threat. Debraj has faced earlier criminal proceedings related to corruption, and this new filing comes after a prior charge sheet that highlighted similar patterns of intimidation and financial demands. Law enforcement officials say the investigation is ongoing and that further evidence is being collected to substantiate the claims. The case remains a focal point in the city’s ongoing efforts against political corruption and extortion.
