Bengal school-job case: Verdict on ED’s plea seeking minister’s custody deferred by a day
The Statesman
|September 24, 2025
A special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Kolkata on Tuesday postponed the hearing of the Enforcement Directorate's plea seeking custodial interrogation of West Bengal Minister Chandranath Sinha in connection with the multi-crore cash-for-school-jobs scam case in the state by a day.
The hearing in the matter was concluded on 20 September. However, on that day, the judge of the special PMLA court had reserved its order and said that it would be pronounced on Tuesday.
However, today, the judge of the special court, who was supposed to pronounce the verdict, could not turn up at the court in South Kolkata because of the waterlogged streets in the city following rain on Monday night.
Hence, the crucial verdict could not be pronounced. Later, it was announced that the order will be pronounced on Wednesday.
