Bengal Municipalities Recruitment Scam: In connection with an investigation into alleged irregularities in municipality recruitments in West Bengal, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) began raids on Thursday at several places, including the residence of TMC state Food and Supplies Minister Rathin Ghosh.
According to officials, the ED team arrived at Minister Ghosh’s home in Michaelnagar in the North 24 Parganas district at around 6.10 a.m., escorted by a sizable presence of central forces.
In conjunction with the case, authorities also began raids at 12 additional locations. Ghosh, a Madhyamgram TMC legislator, previously worked for the municipality. The ED claims that between 2014 and 2018, numerous municipal organizations in West Bengal fraudulently hired 1,500 individuals in exchange for cash.
