The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to investigate allegations that OMR answer sheets of candidates who appeared for the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) in 2014 were tampered and destroyed. The allegations have come to fore over the past few days.
Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay also directed former West Bengal Board of Primary Education (WBBPE) president Manik Bhattacharya to appear before the CBI by 8 p.m. on Tuesday. The court said in case Mr. Bhattacharya fails to appear before the CBI, the agency can take him into custody for interrogation. However, Mr. Bhattacharya approached the Supreme Court which gave him a reprieve for a day.
