Sujit Bose, the former Fire Services minister and a leader of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Kolkata on Monday. His arrest came after more than 10 hours of interrogation regarding alleged irregularities in municipality recruitment. An ED official stated that Bose was arrested for 'non-cooperation and discrepancies' found in his statements. Bose, who arrived at the ED office in Salt Lake with his son Samudra Bose, had previously received multiple notices from the ED, especially during the West Bengal Assembly elections. He had sought exemption from appearing before the agency, citing election campaign commitments. Following the elections, he appeared before the ED on May 1. The agency has conducted searches at properties owned by Bose and his son, reportedly recovering incriminating documents related to the case. Meanwhile, Rathin Ghosh, another former minister involved in the investigation, has repeatedly skipped his ED appearances.
