West Bengal SSC scam: Had no knowledge of money, says Partha Chatterjee's close aide Arpita Mukherjee

Suspended Trinamool Congress leader Partha Chatterjee's close aide Arpita Mukherjee claimed on Tuesday that the cash seized from her apartments in Kolkata was kept in her absence and she had no knowledge about it. Meanwhile, ED raided six locations in various parts of Kolkata , including Nail Art Parlours in Patuli, Lakeview Road and Baranagar, several apartments in Kendua, Panditiya Place and Madurdaha, which were "reportedly" owned by Mukherjee.

"The money was kept in my absence and I had no knowledge about it. This is not my money," Mukherjee told media persons while she was taken to the ESI hospital on the southern outskirts of the city for a medical check-up.

Meanwhile, Nandigram BJP MLA Suvendu Adhikari submitted a list of 100 Trinamool leaders, including several MPs and MLAs, letterheads of several MLAs with documents and names of block-wise collection agents in connection with the teacher recruitment scam to Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi.
