KOLKATA: CBI on Saturday lodged an FIR against five persons and “unknown other” officers of the West Bengal School Service Commission in the course of its investigation into “massive irregularities” in state school appointments. The move came a day after an FIR was filed against minister of state for education Paresh Adhikary.
The agency slapped charges of forgery and cheating on SSC’s former adviser Santi Prasad Sinha, former chairman Soumitra Sarkar, ex-secretary Asoke Kumar Saha and programme officer Samarjit Acharya. CBI also named former West Bengal Board of Secondary Education president Kalyanmoy Ganguly in the FIR.
