West Bengal MLA Accused of Extortion from Jail

West Bengal MLA Accused of Extortion from Jail

A politician in West Bengal, Suvendu Adhikari, shared a recording he says is of another politician, Jiban Krishna Saha, who is in jail.

Adhikari claims Saha is still asking people for money to get jobs in schools, even though he's in jail for a job scam.

In the recording, a voice asks for money, and another voice says they've already paid a lot.

Adhikari wants the police to check if the voice is really Saha's and thinks jail guards might be helping Saha do this.

He's asking for an investigation into the audio and the transfer of cases outside West Bengal.
