In October 2023, Joytipriya Mallick was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on allegations of participating in a ration scam and embezzling Rs. 95 crore during his tenure as the Minister of Food Supplies amid the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown in India. The ED acted on a complaint against businessman Bakibur Rahman, leading to Mallick's arrest. After questioning Rahman, the ED conducted a raid on Mallick's residence on 26 October 2023, where they confiscated various documents and stamps related to the fraudulent activities. Following Mallick's detention, several AITMC leaders, including Mamata Banerjee, criticized both the ED and the Central Government, accusing them of deliberately framing Mallick in a fabricated case. Mamta talked about it while giving an interview and said,

"They are tumbling down ghee bottles, oil bottles, taking pictures of sarees, cosmetics in the name of raids… My question is why a single BJP leader’s house has not been raided? Why a single BJP dacoit house has not been raided?… The LS election is due in five months. Election in five states is going on. Now, the house of the son of a CM is raided… We do not believe in political revenge. I respect the constitutional chair. So I am silent."

Later, it was exposed that Mallick channelized the funds acquired through diverting ration supplies among three companies. In November 2023, Abhijit Das, Mallick's former personal assistant, informed the Enforcement Directorate (ED) that Mallick had designated Das's mother and wife as directors of one of these companies. However, Das said that he was not aware of their appointments, claiming that his mother and wife resigned from their directorial roles after he resigned from his position as Mallick's personal assistant. Thereafter, the ED called in Priyadarshini Mallick, his daughter, and Debapriya Mallick, his elder brother, for interrogation.
