Another stack of cash has been recovered from the house of Arpita Mukherjee — the aide of Bengal’s arrested minister Partha Chatterjee — days after a huge pile of notes was found in one room of the house. This time, the notes were found from a shelf, sources said. Bank officials have been asked to rush to the spot with note counting machines.
Partha Chatterjee and Arpita Mukherjee were arrested on Saturday — a day after Rs 20 crore was discovered from the house.
Arpita Mukherjee has reportedly told investigators that the money was kickback from the state’s massive teacher recruitment scam.
She also said that only Partha Chatterjee and his men had access to the room where the cash was kept.
