The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday arrested ex-West Bengal minister and TMC leader Sujit Bose in connection with the municipality recruitment scam in the state.
This major move comes just days after the BJP swept the state with a 207-seat win in the 2026 Assembly elections against the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC, and a day after CM Suvendu Adhikari was sworn into his post.
Bose is accused of illegally recommending 150 candidates for different posts under the South Dum Dum Municipality, in exchange for pecuniary benefits.
In fact, the ED said that it had traced some of these benefits in the form of flats he had acquired in exchange for the municipality recommendation favours.
The agency added that it had also traced huge deposits of cash sent to bank accounts undder his control for similar similar reasons.
Bose will be produced before a special court on Tuesday.
(More details are awaited.)
