Sujit Bose, Trinamool Congress (TMC) candidate from the Bidhannagar Assembly Constituency in North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, and TMC leader Samudra Bose – Sujit Bose’s son, reached the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office in Kolkata on 11 April 2026 in connection with the municipal recruitment corruption case. The two arrived together as part of the ongoing federal probe into alleged irregularities in the recruitment of staff in several civic bodies in the state, including municipalities in North 24 Parganas district.
The ED is investigating a multi‑crore municipalities’ recruitment scam in which thousands of posts, including labourers, clerks, ambulance attendants, pump operators and drivers, were allegedly filled in exchange for money. Agencies have already carried out multiple raids on properties linked to Sujit Bose, his son Samudra Bose and other municipal officials in North 24 Parganas and surrounding areas, seizing documents and digital records related to the hiring process and associated financial transactions.
Officials familiar with the case have said the ED is now focusing on the sources of funds invested in businesses owned by Sujit Bose and his son, as well as the money trail linked to the allegedly illegal appointments. The Bidhannagar MLA‑to‑be and his son are among several TMC leaders and civic‑body figures who have been summoned or questioned by the central agency in recent months as part of the wider West Bengal municipal‑job‑recruitment probe.
