The Enforcement Directorate (ED), which is probing the money laundering angle in the coal pilferage case, has summoned West Bengal PWD Minister Moloy Ghatak and TMC MLA from Baghmundi Sushanta Mahato for questioning. Ghatak is a TMC MLA from Asansol. Both have been asked to appear before the ED on Friday in New Delhi.
This is the fourth time that Ghatak has been summoned by the agency, while Mahato has been called for the first time.
Reacting to summons to TMC MLA and minister, party national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee hit out at the BJP, accusing it of using the central agencies for political benefits.
