    Digital Desk: In a significant development, an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader in Assam has been summoned by the Chief Minister's Special Vigilance Cell in connection with the Rs. 105 crore State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) scam, as per reports. 


    The AAP leader has been identified as Bidyut Kalita, a resident of Mirza who is accused of being involved in the SCERT scam.


    Reportedly, Kalita is absconding over fear of being arrested in connection with the scam.


    Meanwhile, a letter has surfaced in which Kalita requests a two-day extension after being called by the vigilance cell, citing the fact that he was out of town at the time the summon notification was delivered at his residence. 


    It should be noted that the Chief Ministers' Special Vigilance Cell arrested four people including two journalists and two Right to Information Act (RTI) employees in connection with the scam on Tuesday.


    The arrested people were identified as Bhaskarjyoti Hazarika and Pujamoni Das, both journalists, and Anup Saikia and Rabijit Gogoi, RTI employees.
