A day after the arrest of Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and West Bengal Minister Partha Chatterjee, the TMC on Sunday, 24 July, demanded a time-bound investigation in the Enforcement Directorate (ED) case against the minister, asserting that the party will not interfere politically if any leader has done anything wrong.
Meanwhile, the ED on Sunday moved the Calcutta High Court against the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court order on Chatterjee’s admission at SSKM Hospital.
As per Chatterjee's counsel Ayan Poddar, the central agency sought to shift him to AIIMS Delhi, Bhubaneswar, or Kalyani for treatment. However, the court reserved the final order on the matter.
ED personnel had on Friday, 22 July, carried out raids at various places in Bengal as part of their probe into the money trail in a teacher recruitment scam at government-sponsored and government-aided schools.
