AIIMS Kalyani: CID to question more people on recruitment irregularities

While the probe is going on into the alleged irregularities in the recruitments at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Kalyani, the Crime Investigation Department (CID) of West Bengal Police is planning to question more people on the matter.

The FIR, in this case, includes the name of four BJP leaders including Union Minister of State for Education Subhas Sarkar, Ranaghat MP Jagannath Sarkar, Bankura MLA Niladri Sekhar Dana and Chakdah MLA Bankim Ghosh. The allegation is that they have used their influence to get jobs for their relatives.

“It is alleged that posts were filled at AIIMS Kalyani, by relatives of influential people. We are carrying out the investigation to find out if there was any misuse of power or money,” a CID official said on the condition of anonymity, as reported by Indian Express.

“Some of them have been interrogated already and some documents related to the case have been collected,” the official added.

Investigation so far

Relatives of two BJP MLAs Niladri Sekhar Dana and Bankim Ghosh — have already been questioned in the case.

On Friday, officials of CID’s economic offence wing questioned Maitri Dana, daughter of BJP’s Bankura MLA. Maitri joined AIIMS, Kalyani, as a data entry operator at the nursing college. A few days after she got the job, a BJP leader complained to the central leadership that Maitri got the job on the recommendation of Union Minister and Bankura MP Subhash Sarkar.

“We are examining her (Maitri’s) statement and documents. If required, she will be called again for questioning,” a senior police official said.
