• Once a star on the rise, now Mamta Kulkarni is being probed in connection with an international drug ring that tried to smuggle 20 tonnes of ephedrine into Maharashtra.
  

• Investigations into the Rs 2,000 crore crime revealed Mamta has eight bank accounts in Mumbai and Gujarat, which were opened by her aide, Sanjay Sharma, a manager with a private bank. The money trail of these accounts are being looked into.
  

The money trail and transactions are definitely under the scanner, not just of the branch in Badlapur but also others, which could have been used to transfer payments to their counterparts in India, including fugitives and prime accused, Kishorsinh Rathod and Jaymukhi, for funding the cartel.

• Although Mamta is known to have been living abroad for the past few years, her accounts that are opened at Nariman Point, Malad, Parel, Dharavi, Kalyan and Badlapur and even at Bhuj and Rajkot in Gujarat, have been open and functional.
  

We will definitely verify the documents given for opening the accounts and check if the KYC has been done by the account holder or those operating them.
