ED sources said that a total of 22 such high-end mobile phones were seized from the two residences of Mukherjee.

Partha Chatterjee was arrested in connection with the multi-crore West Bengal School Service Commission (WBSSC) by the Enforcement Directorate on July 23. About 50 crore in cash and a huge amount of gold was recovered from his aide Arpita Mukherjee's flats.

Partha Chatterjee now claims that the party earned money by selling jobs in other departments as well. People allegedly got railway jobs by paying money.
