Also, some gold ornaments, a laptop, a vehicle and some bank documents were also seized," the official added.Arvind Pande is missing and the city police have issued a lookout notice against him.The investigation in the matter was launched by officers in the Hare Street Police Station on Saturday morning on the basis of a written complaint by the branch authorities of a private sector bank about multiple fictitious transactions of huge amounts from the two accounts.The cops immediately froze the two bank accounts having deposits of Rs 20 crore.Meanwhile, the opposition parties in the state said that recovery of illegal cash has been a regular feature in West Bengal."The Chief Minister often expresses dissatisfaction over the poor state of exchequer.
