West Bengal Chief Minister's Nephew Summoned by CBI in Primary School Teachers' Recruitment Scam


  • Mamata Banerjee's nephew, Abhishek Banerjee, who is a Member of Parliament (MP) from West Bengal. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has issued a summons to Abhishek Banerjee to appear for questioning regarding a scam related to the recruitment of primary school teachers in the state.

The CBI's anti-corruption branch, which has been investigating the case, has directed Abhishek Banerjee to appear at their Kolkata office on Saturday morning.

  • Abhishek Banerjee stated that despite not receiving prior notice, he will comply with the summons as he believes he has done nothing wrong. He also challenged the CBI to arrest him if they have any evidence of corruption or misconduct. He expressed his willingness to cooperate with the investigation.

  • Abhishek Banerjee shared the information about the summons on Twitter and mentioned that he will resume his political campaign after appearing before the CBI. Mamata Banerjee, addressing a rally, supported her nephew and claimed that certain people are afraid of Abhishek's political influence, which is why they have resorted to summoning him by the CBI. She stated that Abhishek has done nothing wrong and they fear him politically because they cannot compete with him on that front.
