Federal investigators, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), arrest former West Bengal minister Sujit Bose, a Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader, in connection with an alleged money laundering case linked to a municipal recruitment scam. Both reports describe the arrest as the first major detention of a senior TMC figure following a change of government in the state. They note that the Suvendu Adhikari-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government takes office in West Bengal on Saturday, and the arrest of Bose follows soon after. The ED’s action is framed by the outlets as part of its probe into financial irregularities and alleged misuse connected to recruitment processes at the municipal level. Details of specific charges, the scope of the alleged scam, and the procedural status of Bose after arrest are not provided in the excerpts. The reports focus on the arrest itself and its timing, emphasizing that it is the first prominent arrest of a TMC leader after the BJP administration assumes charge.
