Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials investigating the ration distribution case in West Bengal have identified approximately 1,000 rice and wheat mills that were directly or indirectly involved in the scam. The list was compiled based on their connections to individuals who have already been arrested and are currently in judicial custody for their alleged involvement in the scam, including former West Bengal food and supplies minister Jyotipriya Mallick.
According to sources, the scam involved a significant portion of the food items acquired for distribution under the fair-price system being diverted to these rice and wheat mills. Subsequently, the mills were responsible for selling the goods at inflated prices in open markets or to corporate entities involved in the marketing of packaged rice or wheat.
ED officials have stated that the owners of some of these mills will be questioned in due course to authenticate the seized documents related to this matter. This will help in furthering the investigation and determining the extent of their involvement in the scam.
