Anubrata Mondal[1] (born 1 April 1960), also known as Kesto Mondal, is an Indian politician, who belongs to All India Trinamool Congress. He is known to be a close aide of Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee. He is currently serving as President of Birbhum District Trinamool Congress after getting bail for cattle case from CBI Central Bureau of Investigation and ED Enforcement Directorate in lack of evidence from Tihar Jail.[2][3] The National Investigation Agency also tried to nab him on national treasure (coal, sand, etc.) smuggling but failed. Due to this his daughter Sukanya Mondal had also spent 16 months in Tihar but nothing could be proven and she was bailed out.
