The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on January 18 started conducting raids simultaneously at seven places in and around Kolkata in connection with its probe into the alleged irregularities in recruitment in schools of West Bengal, a senior officer said.
Raids are being held at the residences and offices of those who allegedly "acted as middlemen" in the scam, he said.
"These middlemen used to collect money and transfer it to various addresses. We are conducting raids at residences and offices used by them," the ED officer told PTI.
