The arrest came a day after the ED conducted searches at Mr Mallick's residence in Salt Lake, on the outskirts of Kolkata.
An Enforcement Directorate (ED) team late Thursday night arrested sitting West Bengal minister and Trinamool Congress leader, Jyotripriya Mallik, in connection with an alleged case of corruption in the public distribution system.
The arrest came a day after the ED conducted searches at Mr Mallick's residence in Salt Lake, on the outskirts of Kolkata.
As media persons jostled and gathered around the minister while he was being whisked away by the ED sleuths, with the help of Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) personnel, the minister said he was the "victim of a grave conspiracy".
