A court in Kolkata on Friday remanded former Trinamool Congress leader Partha Chatterjee and his aide, Aprita Mukherjee, in judicial custody till August 18 in connection with the School Service Commission recruitment scam.
The Enforcement Directorate had arrested them on July 23, and they have been in the custody of the agency since then.
The court, while rejecting the bail plea of the accused, allowed the ED’s prayer to question them while they will remain in a correctional home till August 18.
