Kolkata: West Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee on Wednesday appeared before the CBI here for interrogation in connection with its probe into the alleged irregularities of appointments in government-run and aided schools by West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC). Chatterjee, who was the education minister when the alleged illegal appointments were made, on Wednesday will be asked the same questions for which his answers did not match with those of the members of the advisory panel in connection with the scam, a CBI officer told PTI.
The members of the advisory panel, which was constituted by the West Bengal School Education Department in November 2019 for monitoring pending recruitments of teaching and non-teaching staff in the schools, were questioned by CBI sleuths earlier.

"We had asked Chatterjee questions on Wednesday last week when he appeared before us but his answers did not match with those of the members of the advisory panel. That is why we will ask him the same questions. He will also be asked questions related to Paresh Adhikari's daughter's appointment as a teacher in a government-aided school. We are trying to find out Chatterjee's links to all these," the CBI officer said.
