Kolkata: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned former West Bengal education minister Partha Chatterjee and his close aide Arpita Mukherjee in connection with the teachers' recruitment corruption case, sources in the central agency said on Monday.
Both Chatterjee and Mukherjee had received bail recently in the case. Chatterjee was arrested in July 2022 in the School Service Commission teachers' recruitment corruption case in West Bengal. Arpita Mukherjee was also arrested after heaps of cash and ornaments were found from her apartment.
Apart from the ED, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is also investigating the SSC recruitment corruption case.
Last September, the Calcutta High Court granted bail to Partha Chatterjee. Despite the bail order, he was not released immediately due to a Supreme Court directive, which stated that Chatterjee be released only after the trial court completes the examination of material witnesses within two months. He was finally released from judicial custody on November 11, 2025.
