CBI raids on the residences of Firhad Hakim and Madan Mitra in connection with the municipal bodies recruitment scam. The raids took place on Sunday, October 8, 2023, and were part of a larger investigation into the alleged illegal appointment of thousands of teachers and other staff to municipal bodies in West Bengal.
The raids on Hakim and Mitra’s residences are a significant development in the case, as they are both high-profile figures in the Trinamool Congress, the ruling party in West Bengal.
The Trinamool Congress has condemned the raids, calling them politically motivated. However, the CBI has said that the raids are part of a fair and impartial investigation.
The outcome of the CBI investigation remains to be seen, but the raids have sent a strong message that no one is above the law, even those in positions of power.
It is important to note that the raids are still ongoing, and no charges have been filed against Hakim or Mitra at this time. Both men are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
