'Untainted' teachers pay price in Bengal's cash for jobs scam

The Sunday Guardian

May 18, 2025

Braving intense heat and police lathis, hundreds of government school teachers continued their protest outside Kolkata's Bikash Bhawan against the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal Government for the 11th day running.

They are protesting the loss of 26,000 jobs in connection with the SSC (School Service Commission) recruitment scam in which former Education Minister Partha Chattopadhyay and a host of Trinamool leaders allegedly sold jobs and made crores. The Central investigating agencies unearthed crores of cash, jewellery and identified properties that it says are the "proceeds of crime".

The protest follows a Supreme Court judgment on April 3 which held that it was impossible to separate the tainted and untainted candidates in the 2016 recruitment, and therefore cancelled the entire panel of 25,753 teachers and non-teaching staff with immediate effect. It also said that a fresh recruitment drive would have to be completed by the end of the year.
