The Central Bureau Investigation (CBI) questioned Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and former West Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee again in connection with his role in the School Service Commission (SSC) recruitment scam.
The Enforcement Directorate had arrested Partha Chatterjee on July 23 along with his associate Arpita Mukherjee for money laundering in the SSC scam.
The CBI brought Chatterjee to their office in for the questioning.
The ED had also arrested West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE) chairman Kalyanmoy Ganguly and former SSC screening committee convener Shantiprasad Sinha are in CBI custody in the case.
The CBI grilled Chatterjee, Mukherjee and Gangulay separately and found discrepancies in their statements. Their statements will now be corroborated thoroughly, officials said.
The CBI is interrogating them to find out as on whose orders were the jobs given to ineligible candidates and how exactly was the selection done.
