The Enforcement Directorate (ED) grilled Saayoni Ghosh, the Trinamool Congress youth state president and Bengali actress, for 11 hours in connection with the teachers’ recruitment scam case in West Bengal. The questioning took place at the ED office in Kolkata. At the end of the interrogation, Ghosh told reporters that she had cooperated with the central probe agency and will continue to do so.
Ghosh’s summons by the ED is part of their investigation into the alleged teacher recruitment scam in West Bengal. The ED had previously summoned Abhishek Banerjee, the Trinamool Congress national general secretary, to appear before them on June 13 in relation to the same case. In May, Banerjee was questioned for over 9 hours by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with the multi-crore recruitment scam in West Bengal schools.
Reacting to the situation, Trinamool Congress MP Shatrughan Sinha criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, accusing them of harassing the opposition using central agencies. Sinha claimed that it is the BJP’s desperate attempt for revenge before they go out of power.
The ED’s investigation into the teachers’ recruitment scam case unfolds amidst political tensions between the Trinamool Congress and the BJP in West Bengal. The BJP has been critical of the Trinamool Congress government and has accused it of corruption and mismanagement. The Trinamool Congress, on the other hand, has defended itself against these allegations and accused the BJP of using central agencies to target opposition leaders.
