Cases were registered against Aradeep Chatterjee in 2017 by the Bidhannagar Police, followed by an Enforcement Directorate (ED) probe.

After prolonged trials, the Barasat Fast Track Court acquitted both accused in police cases, while the Special ED Court at Bichar Bhawan discharged them from the PMLA case.
