Kolkata: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) sleuths on Friday questioned another Trinamool Congress leader Shahjahan Mollah in connection with their probe into the school jobs scam, a senior officer said.
Mollah, the TMC’s Bhangar Block 9 president, was summoned by the central probe agency to appear before its sleuths on Friday.
“There are several grey areas. We are questioning him. It is still not over,” he added.
The CBI officer also claimed that several important documents have been recovered from Mollah’s house.
