Kolkata, July 10 -- The Enforcement Directorate on Thursday filed its first charge sheet against former West Bengal fire services minister and Trinamool Congress leader Sujit Bose and his son, Samudra, in connection with the alleged corruption in recruitment by several civic bodies, an official of the federal agency said requesting anonymity. The charge sheet filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) also named Jyotishman Chattopadhyay, an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer and two companies linked to Bose and his son.
In 2023, the Calcutta High Court ordered CBI to probe allegations that various civic bodies recruited 1,500 people between 2014 and 2018 in exchange for money. htc
