ED arrests Bengal job scam suspect who claimed to be Abhishek Banerjee’s employee

Hindustan Times  

The Enforcement Directorate late on Tuesday arrested a suspect after 11-hour interrogation in Kolkata in connection with an alleged school recruitment scam in West Bengal. An ED official said Sujaykrishna Bhadra, who in March claimed to be working for ruling Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee, is suspected to be linked with transactions of three companies allegedly involved in the laundering of money related to the alleged scam. On May 20, ED raided 16 locations including Bhadra’s home in Kolkata, and said it seized documents of properties of three companies through which unaccounted money is suspected to have been siphoned off. The suspected involvement of TMC leaders surfaced when the ED arrested education minister Partha Chatterjee and his aide Arpita Mukherjee in July 2022. In its first charge sheet filed in September last year, ED said it traced cash, jewellery, and immovable property worth ₹103.10 crore linked to the two.
