KOLKATA: Actor and TMC MP former Nusrat Jahan appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) at its Salt Lake office on Wednesday in connection with a housing fraud case, an official said. Jahan, accompanied by actor and husband Yash Dasgupta, reached the CGO Complex in the morning, according to news agency PTI.“She has been summoned in connection with an ongoing investigation into a housing fraud case. Certain new information has emerged over the past few months, necessitating her appearance,” an ED official said. The agency is investigating allegations linked to a housing project in Rajarhat, where a firm allegedly collected money from buyers on the promise of flats but failed to deliver. According to officials, Jahan was earlier associated as a director of the company under scrutiny. The actor had previously been questioned by the agency in 2023 for nearly six hours in connection with the same case. The complaint was filed by BJP leader Shankudeb Panda, who alleged that more than 400 senior citizens were duped by the firm during 2014-15 after being promised 1,000 sq ft flats for around Rs 5.5 lakh each. The complainants allegedly neither received the flats nor refunds. Jahan has denied all allegations, including any association with the company as a director.
