The CBI on Saturday questioned West Bengal minister Paresh Adhikari for the third consecutive day over the “illegal” appointment of his daughter Ankita as a primary school teacher. The Calcutta High Court on Friday dismissed Ankita Adhikari from her job in a government-aided school and asked her to refund the salary received during her 41-month stint as a teacher.
Adhikari, Minister of State for Education, arrived at the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) office at around 10.35 am with a file which sources close to him said were important documents related to the appointment. According to a CBI official, the officer may be asked questions related to various phone calls made from his mobile phone in connection with the appointment of his daughter Ankita.
The CBI detective said, “The call may be related to the appointment of his daughter as an assistant teacher in primary school. Like tomorrow, we will videograph the entire interrogation.” The Mekleyganj MLA was questioned for nine hours on Friday and for about four hours on Thursday night in connection with the investigation.
