Heaps of cash & gold, 242 vehicles & more: WB CM Suvendu lists Tulu Mondal's assets

KOLKATA: Rs 150 crore in cash, gold and assets including 242 vehicles, two petrol pumps, seven houses, a farmhouse, and counting. The list constitutes only a part of Birbhum stone mining baron Tulu Mondal’s properties. Reading out the details of the fugitive illegal stone baron’s holdings on Friday, CM Suvendu Adhikari blamed former CM Mamata Banerjee for the growth of Tulu – known to be a close associate of Birbhum strongman Anubrata Mondal – and said, “without her support, this could not have taken place”.Speaking at a news conference in Nabanna, Adhikari said illegal stone mining and smuggling from Birbhum alone had led to a revenue loss of nearly Rs 15,000 crore in the last 15 years.“Such siphoning of govt revenue… such a massive racket… can’t continue for years without the concurrence of the head of the administration. All were involved.
