ED Sent to Probe West Bengal Scams as Some CBI Officers Had 'Setting' with TMC: Dilip Ghosh

News 18  

Certain CBI officers had a ”setting” with the Trinamool Congress, because of which the Enforcement Directorate was sent by the Finance Ministry to probe the corruption cases in West Bengal and speed up the investigations, BJP’s national vice-president Dilip Ghosh claimed on Sunday. Addressing a programme organised by the Union Ministry of Culture at the ICCR here, Ghosh said it was because of this understanding between some CBI officers and the TMC that the probes into the coal scam, cattle smuggling case and school jobs irregularities were not yielding any ”results”. The CBI and ED are being politically used by the BJP government at the Centre against its opponents, TMC’s state general secretary Kunal Ghosh alleged. The ED has arrested West Bengal’s former Education Minister Partha Chatterjee in the school jobs scam, while the CBI arrested TMC’s Birbhum district president Anubrata Mondal in the cattle smuggling case.
