The Calcutta High Court is set to hear a plea concerning the alleged stalling of an Enforcement Directorate (ED) investigation into a cash-for-jobs scam. The plea alleges that Sujay Bhadra, an accused in the case, is deliberately hindering the probe.
Background of the Case
The case came to the fore on Tuesday morning when an advocate informed the bench of Chief Justice TS Sivagnanam and Justice Supratim Bhattacharya about the actions of Sujay Bhadra, who is implicated in the scam. According to the counsel, Bhadra has been continuously staying at the SSKM hospital in Kolkata, a move perceived as an intentional effort to stall the ongoing ED investigation.
“He has booked one entire block in the hospital. He is doing this deliberately. This is only stalling the investigation by the ED,” the lawyer argued.
