ED Summons TMC MLA Saha in Teachers' Recruitment Scam

It is not clear if he would respond to the summons or not. The TMC MLA was earlier arrested by the CBI in the same case on April 17 last year from his Andi residence in Murshidabad

Berhampore: The Enforcement Directorate has (ED) summoned Burwan Trinamul Congress MLA Jibankrishna Saha for questioning in the teachers’ recruitment scam.

According to sources, Mr. Saha has been asked to appear at the ED office on Monday morning at the CGO complex office in Salt Lake. The Central agency wants to quiz him for his money transfers related to the case.

It is not clear if he would respond to the summons or not. The TMC MLA was earlier arrested by the CBI in the same case on April 17 last year from his Andi residence in Murshidabad.

He had then tried to save himself by throwing his two cell phones in his pond to destroy evidence. The CBI however recovered both the phones later and retrieved his call details.

On May 14 this year, Mr Saha was granted bail by the Supreme Court after spending around one year behind bars. The ED earlier questioned his wife Tagari Saha and stumbled upon some discrepancies about a number of money transfers.
