Abhishek Banerjee appears before CBI in Bengal teacher recruitment scam

May 20, 2023..

Kolkata/IBNS: Curtailing his 60-day mass outreach political campaign, Trinamool Congress MP and national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee on Saturday reached Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)'s Kolkata office after the probe agency summoned him in the West Bengal teacher recruitment scam.


Banerjee, who stays in Bhabanipur, reached CBI's Nizam Palace office at AJC Bose Road at around 11 am.

Calcutta High Court on Thursday dismissed Banerjee's plea seeking a recall of a previous order which had said the CBI and Enforcement Directorate (ED) could summon him in the jobs scam.

Banerjee, who is the second most important leader of the ruling party, got his name cropped up in the job scam case after arrested TMC youth leader Kuntal Ghosh said he was being pressured to take the name of the former.

Speaking during his 'Trinamoole Nabojowar Yatra' in Bankura, Banerjee said, "I dare the CBI to arrest me if they have any proof of corruption against me."

In 2021, former state Education Minister Partha Chatterjee was arrested in the jobs scam after a huge cash of money worth Rs. 50 crore was seized from his aide Arpita Mukherjee's two flats.

Accusing the country's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of political vendetta, Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee said the summons won't be able to stop TMC's campaign adding she would address Abhishek Banerjee's rallies virtually for now.
