TMC leader and former West Bengal tourism and culture minister Indranil Sen was arrested by the Kolkata Police late Wednesday evening, a senior police officer said.

Earlier on Wednesday evening, Sen was detained by the Kolkata Police for questioning in the Puja pass case, after he appeared before the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a money laundering probe in the same matter. He was questioned by the ED for at least four hours before the police team detained him and took him to Lal Bazar for questioning.

On Thursday, Sen will be produced before the court, where the police will seek his custody for further investigation.

The ED had summoned Sen at its Kolkata office in connection with its probe into alleged financial irregularities in holding Durga Puja preview shows and the sale of passes between 2022 and 2025.
