<h1>Ruling-party legislator arrested under PMLA, remanded six days to ED custody in multi-crore school recruitment scam</h1> A ruling-party legislator was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act and remanded to six days' ED custody in a multi-crore alleged school-recruitment scam; authorities say he attempted to flee and disposed of mobile phones now sent for forensic examination. The probe traces to a Central Bureau of Investigation FIR into irregularities in recruitment of Group C/D staff and teachers, with multiple charge sheets and prior arrests in the matter. The arrest prompted immediate political accusations of pre-election vendetta by the legislator's party and counterclaims by the opposition that the action vindicates long-standing corruption allegations.
