“Sayani Ghosh’s name has surfaced multiple times while questioning those arrested in the case. We have evidence about Ghosh’s involvement in several dealings with one accused arrested in this scam. We have asked her (Ghosh) to bring a few specific documents on Friday,” PTI quoted an unnamed ED official as saying.

Sayani Ghosh is not the first celebrity from the Bengali silver screen who has been summoned by the ED in connection with the school recruitment case. Earlier, actor Bonny Sengupta was questioned.

Earlier this month, the ED had summoned TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee for questioning in connection with the same scam. Former education minister Partha Chatterjee, his close friend Arpita Mukherjee and several education department officials have been arrested for their alleged involvement in the scam.
