The arrest of Trinamool Congress MLA Jiban Krishna Saha is escalating a major investigation into alleged irregularities in West Bengal's school recruitment process. The Enforcement Directorate took the MLA into custody following a series of raids.
Further scrutiny has now turned to his paternal aunt, Maya Saha, a TMC councillor, in connection with her possible involvement in the scam. The ED conducted searches at her Birbhum residence to gather more evidence.
Despite categorically denying any wrongdoing, claiming financial independence from corruption, Maya faces allegations tied to land-grabbing cases. This high-profile investigation has intensified after Jiban Krishna Saha's attempt to evade arrest by scaling walls and ditching evidence like mobile phones.
