Bengal school jobs scam: ED files chargesheet against TMC MLA Jiban Krishna Saha

The Enforcement Directorate on Saturday filed a chargesheet against Trinamool Congress MLA Jiban Krishna Saha in connection with irregularities in the West Bengal Secondary School Certificate examination process, an official said.

The chargesheet was submitted before the Bankshall Court here, 60 days after Saha’s arrest, he said.

''We have filed a chargesheet today against Jiban Krishna Saha. It's an 80-page document,'' the officer told PTI. The central agency had arrested Saha in August for his alleged involvement in the scam, including manipulation of question papers and bribery.

The chargesheet details multiple aspects of the investigation, including financial transactions totalling around Rs 1.5 crore “linked to Saha”, the officer said. Chatterjee was suspended from the party by the ruling TMC in West Bengal after his arrest by the ED.
