Former West Bengal minister and TMC leader Sujit Bose appeared before the ED on Monday in connection with the alleged municipality recruitment scam, an official said. Bose reached the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office at the CGO Complex in Salt Lake around 10.30 am, accompanied by his son Samudra Bose. This is not the first time the central agency has summoned Bose in connection with the probe into alleged recruitment irregularities at the South Dum Dum municipality. According to sources, Bose received multiple ED notices during the West Bengal Assembly election period, including one on April 6, the day nomination papers were filed. He had then moved the Calcutta High Court seeking exemption from appearance, citing election campaign commitments. After the polls, Bose appeared before ED investigators at the CGO Complex on May 1. The agency twice searched establishments owned by Bose and his son in connection with the alleged scam. Investigators have claimed that they recovered incriminating documents during the search operations.
