KOLKATA: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Bibhas Adhikari in the primary school recruitment case in West Bengal, said agency sources on Tuesday.
Adhikari is a close associate of Trinamool Congress MLA Manik Bhattacharya, who was arrested by the ED in the teacher recruitment scam in the primary section.
Bhattacharya is currently out on bail which was granted to him by the Calcutta High Court in 2024.
It may be noted that along with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) the ED, too, has been investigating the teacher recruitment case.
Earlier, both the ED and the CBI had conducted searches at multiple addresses of Bibhas Adhikari including Nalhati in Birbhum district.
