Four teachers who allegedly got jobs using unfair means were on Monday, August 7, 2023, arrested in the West Bengal school job scam. During the day the four teachers appeared before a Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Court at Alipore after summons were issued to them. Judge Arpan Chattopadhyay observed that the teachers who paid money to get jobs are also guilty of the scam and refused to grant them bail.
The CBI, which is probing the West Bengal school job scam had named the four teachers as witness in a charge sheet filed before the Court. All the teachers – Zahiruddin Sheikh, Saigal Hossain, Simar Hossain and Saigal Mondal- who were sent to Presidency Correctional Home later on Monday evening hail from Murshidabad district. The teachers have been in service for about six years.
