Days after taking office, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari approved CBI investigations into three recruitment-related cases that he said were stuck under the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC government. The biggest involves the teachers’ recruitment scam, alleging a “merit-for-cash” system that sidelined qualified applicants in favor of bribe-paying candidates between 2014 and 2021. Two more probes follow: a municipality recruitment scam affecting hiring across urban local bodies and a cooperative bank scam.

The ED had previously summoned him and carried out searches at establishments linked to both Bose and his son. Reports say incriminating documents were recovered during the raids.
