Drug racket: Police freezes Mamta Kulkarni’s 8 bank accounts

The Thane police has sealed eight bank accounts — holding Rs 93 lakh — of former Bollywood actor Mamta Kulkarni in connection with the Rs 2,000 crore ephedrine racket.

The seized accounts are at Nariman Point, Parel, Dharavi, Malad in Mumbai; Kalyan and Badlapur in Thane; and Bhuj and Rajkot in Gujarat.

Last month, the Thane police mentioned Kulkarni as a prime accused in the multi-crore drug haul case linked to international drug lord Vicky Goswami, believed to be her husband.

Officials have also got details and evidence about her meetings with other co-accused in the drug racket. Earlier, after checking the bank accounts of Kulkarni, the police called in her sister for questioning.

“Kulkarni has eight bank accounts in India. One of the banks in Malad has Rs 67 lakh, and the remaining Rs 26 lakh are in other banks. In the past one and half year, she has not made any transaction. Soon, her properties in India will be seized once we are able to get a court order for the same,” said a police official, on condition of anonymity.
