New Delhi Oct 10 (UNI) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is conducting extensive searches at 11 locations across West Bengal in connection with the alleged irregularities in the Municipality Recruitment Scam.
The investigation stems from a CBI FIR, which was triggered after the Calcutta High Court ordered a probe into the alleged scam.
The raids include the official and residential premises linked to Sujit Bose, the sitting MLA and Minister of Fire and Emergency Services for the state. This marks the second time the Minister’s properties have been searched by the central agency in this case.
The ED is also targeting the office premises of companies owned by Sujit Bose.
The ED has argued that the recruitment irregularities extend beyond the school teacher recruitment scandal, involving various posts within municipalities across the state. Further details are awaited.
