On face of it, you are corrupt, SC tells former TMC minister

The Supreme Court criticized former West Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee’s bail plea in a teacher recruitment scam money laundering case. The court questioned granting bail to a minister involved in a scam where substantial funds were recovered. Chatterjee’s counsel argued he deserved bail as a first-time offender, while the Enforcement Directorate opposed it, citing his role as the mastermind.
