Bengal jobs scam: ED arrests 'Kalighat-er-kaku' Sujoy Bhadra
Kolkata/IBNS: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday night arrested Sujoy Krishna Bhadra, who is popularly known as 'Kalighat-er-kaku', in connection with the West Bengal teacher recruitment scam, media reports said.
Bhadra was arrested after the ED quizzed him for 12 hours.
Several people who have so far been arrested in the case took the name of Bhadra, who allegedly used to receive money from arrested (now expelled) Trinamool Congress youth leader Kuntal Ghosh.
After his name cropped up in the case, Bhadra had said he used to work in the office of TMC MP and national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee.
"No one will be able to reach him (Abhishek Banerjee)," Bhadra had said.
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.
Former state education minister Partha Chatterjee, former primary education board president and Trinamool MLA Manik Bhattacharya are among the people who have been arrested so far in connection with the scam.
Partha and his close-aide Arpita Mukherjee were arrested in the cases after a huge cash (about Rs 50 crore) was recovered from the latter's two flats.
Abhishek Banerjee too was quizzed by the Central Bureau of Investigation in connection with the same case.
