Kolkata (IANS). The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Trinamool Youth Congress president Sayoni Ghosh for the second round of questioning in the multi-crore school recruitment case in West Bengal.
On Friday, actress-turned-politician Sayani faced an 11-hour marathon questioning at the Salt Lake office of the central agency in connection with the education scam.
According to agency sources, though Ghosh made no attempt to evade or evade questions during his questioning from 12 noon to 11 pm on Friday, he gave contradictory answers on several occasions. Therefore, he has been called again on July 5 for clarification on the contradiction in the statements.
The ED office has indicated that he may be called again soon for the second round of questions.
Ghosh said, “I have given 100 percent cooperation. They asked for some documents, which I have already submitted, if they call me again, I will be present.’ If required, I will be here for 24 hours and cooperate.”
Sources said he was questioned on the basis of his WhatsApp chat messages with Kuntal Ghosh, another accused in the school recruitment case and expelled Youth Trinamool Congress leader, who is currently in judicial custody in connection with his alleged involvement in the scam.
Sayoni was also questioned on banking transactions relating to certain purchases of properties between him and Kuntal Ghosh, which have recently come to the fore during the investigation.
