<h1>Probe agency arrests ruling-party legislator under PMLA over multi-crore school recruitment scam after house raids</h1> A central probe agency arrested a ruling-party legislator under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in connection with a multi-crore school recruitment scam after raids at his home, alleging an attempted escape and recovery of two mobile phones from a pond for forensic examination; searches were also conducted at aides' and relatives' residences. The case stems from a court-directed CBI FIR into alleged irregularities in Group C/D and teacher recruitments, with multiple charge sheets and prior high-profile arrests. The arrest prompted accusations of pre-election vendetta by the ruling party and counterclaims by the opposition that it confirms systemic graft.
