The Hindu · india

Kolkata Police have arrested Dhrubajyoti Bose, secretary of MassArt, in connection with a Durga Puja ticket scam. MassArt allegedly misappropriated funds and overcharged for premium viewing tickets. This follows the recent arrest of former West Bengal Tourism and Culture Minister Indranil Sen in the same case. Allegations suggest misuse of power and the UNESCO logo to sell tickets at inflated prices, potentially involving around ₹34 crore. Other MassArt officials, including the minister's wife, are also named in the FIR.
