Since the single bench of Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay passed seven orders directing the CBI to enquire into the alleged irregularities in the appointments of teaching and non-teaching staff in the WBSSC on the recommendations of SSE, the role of Kalyanmoy Ganguly was under the scanner. Recently, he was questioned by the CBI at the WBBSE’s Salt Lake office.
Ganguly has been the president of WEBBSE since 2016. From 2012 to 2016, he was the WBBSE administrator.
