KP files illegal construction FIRs against Raju Naskar

Kolkata: Days after chief minister Suvendu Adhikari named Beleghata strongman Raju Naskar as being on his radar and KMC confirmed they are assessing the properties owned by Naskar, Kolkata Police have filed two back-to-back FIRs against him, claiming Naskar and others were involved in illegal construction in the area.The civic body's legal offensive against Naskar was triggered by formal complaints from Barun Sarkar, an assistant engineer with the KMC buildings department. The first FIR names developers Naskar and another person for constructing an unauthorised five-storey building at 1/3A, East Coolia Road in ward 34. In another complaint, Sarkar flagged another illegal five-storey structure erected by Naskar, alongside three co-accused, on Barwaritala Road. Meanwhile, days after ED arrested property dealer Joy Kamdar for being part of an extortion racket along with KP DCP Santanu Sinha Biswas and Sona Pappu, Parnasree police have filed a charge sheet against Kamdar for allegedly cheating Behala strongman-turned-promoter Jishu Jain. The complaint was filed in March 2024, alleging Kamdar's firm defaulted on a payment of Rs 4.8 lakh out of a Rs 1.4-crore housing contract.
