<h1>Kolkata Court Grants Bail to Ex-Minister in Ration Scam with Rs 50 Lakh Bond under PMLA Conditions.</h1> A PMLA court in Kolkata granted bail to a former West Bengal minister involved in an alleged ration distribution scam. The court required a personal bond of Rs 50 lakh and a bail bond of Rs 50,000 with two sureties of Rs 25,000 each. The minister, who served as the Food and Supplies head from 2011 to 2021, was arrested in October 2023 by the Enforcement Directorate. His lawyers argued for bail due to prolonged detention and delayed trial, while the ED opposed, citing his key role in the case.
