Enforcement Directorate searches West Bengal Minister Chandranath Sinha's residence in Kolkata for alleged school recruitment scam.
A team of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted searches at the residence of West Bengal Minister Chandranath Sinha in Bolpur in Birbhum district on March 22 in connection with its investigation into the alleged school recruitment scam, officials said.
Accompanied by a huge contingent of central forces, the ED team reached the residence of Mr. Sinha, who holds the MSME and Textiles portfolios, in the morning and began the search, they said.
"The search is in connection with the investigation of the alleged irregularities in the school recruitment scam. The Minister is not present at his residence, we are talking to his family," an officer said.
Mr. Sinha was at his ancestral house in Murarai, around 90 km away, at that time.
While leaving for Bolpur, he told reporters he would cooperate with the investigators.
"I did not do any wrong. Unless I reach there and talk to them I will not be able to tell what is happening. I will cooperate with them in every possible way," he said.
Mr. Sinha was earlier summoned by the CBI in the cattle and coal smuggling cases.
