TMC Questions Timing of ED Action After MLA Jiban Krishna Saha's Arrest
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|August 27, 2025
Trinamul Congress leader Kunal Ghosh has questioned the timing of central agencies' actions following the arrest of party MLA Jiban Krishna Saha in the SSC recruitment scam case.
The party has alleged that the probe is politically motivated and linked to the BJP's campaign activities.
"Day before yesterday PM Modi addressed a rally in Kolkata asking for votes for BJP and after that all these central investigating agencies have become active. It was expected because all is not well in BJP," Ghosh said.
His remarks come after Saha was arrested and remanded to six days' Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody.
The next hearing is scheduled for 30 August.
Advocate Jakir Hossain said: "We gave a proper explanation for Rs 46 lakh, we also have documentary proof. If you didn't like that explanation, you should have called us again."
