Municipal job scam: ED raids food minister's house

A team of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), probing the alleged irregularities in the municipal recruitment process in West Bengal raided the house of Rathin Ghosh, food minister in Mamata Banerjee cabinet on Thursday.

The raids coincided with a CPM organized ‘march to CGO Complex’ in protest against the central investigating agencies’ (ED, CBI) delay in ongoing investigations in different scams, including the school teachers’ recruitment scam in the state.

The 10-member central investigating team along with armed CRPF jawans raided the Michaelnagar residence in North 24-Parganas district early this morning around 6am.

Mr Ghosh was there when the ED reached there. The raid is still on till 5pm even after 11 hours.
