Cash For Jobs Scam | Plea In Calcutta High Court Against Accused Sujoy Krishna Bhadra For Stalling ED Probe By Getting Admitted To Hospital

The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday heard a plea mentioned by an advocate against Recruitment scam accused Sujoy Krishna Bhadra alias 'Kalighater Kaku.'

The plea filed as a public interest litigation was mentioned before a division bench of Chief Justice TS Sivagananam and Justice Supratim Bhattacharya. 

It was argued that Bhadra had allegedly booked out a block for himself at SSKM hospital in Kolkata, where he would repeatedly get admitted in order to avoid the ongoing Enforcement Directorate ("ED") investigation against him. 

"There is great urgency, because Bhadra, a recruitment scam accused is unnecessarily and deliberately keeping one block admitted in the SSKM hospital. This is stalling the ED investigation," it was submitted.

Upon hearing the plea, the bench directed for notice to be served on the respondents and for the plea to be listed on Thursday, 4th January.

Notably, Sujoy Krishna Bhadra is being investigated for his dealings as an Executive of Leaps & Bounds Pvt Ltd, a company linked to AITC MP Abhishek Banerjee, and being probed by the ED for allegedly siphoning off funds generated through the cash-for-jobs, multi-tier recruitment scam.
