Earlier on Thursday, Trinamool Congress senior leader Partha Chatterjee, accused in West Bengal SSC recruitment scam, had been sacked as minister in charge of his departments with effect from 28th July, said the Government of West Bengal. 

"There will be zero tolerance for corruption. Investigating agency must complete the probe within the time limit. Even in Saradha case nothing happened, it's just lingering. There should be a time-bound investigation," TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee said.
