Abhishek Banerjee Challenges CBI Allegations in Teacher Recruitment Scam

The Trinamool Congress leader denies wrongdoing after being named in a CBI charge sheet, calling the investigation politically motivated.

The CBI's third supplementary charge sheet in the 2014 West Bengal teacher recruitment scam names 'Abhishek Banerjee,' leading to speculation about the Trinamool Congress leader's involvement.
Abhishek Banerjee denies the allegations, calling the investigation a politically motivated attempt to tarnish his reputation and insisting there is no evidence against him.
The charge sheet refers to a 2017 audio clip allegedly implicating Banerjee in demanding ₹15 crore for illegal teacher appointments, which his lawyer has dismissed as unsubstantiated.
Banerjee criticized the CBI for failing to provide specific details about the individual named in the charge sheet, accusing the agency of using vague and impersonal references.
The Trinamool Congress leader reaffirmed his commitment to his party and rejected rumors of joining the BJP or forming a new political party.
