Trinamool MP Abhishek Banerjee is being questioned by the Enforcement Directorate at its Delhi office in connection with a money laundering case linked to the Bengal coal scam. Banerjee, 34, reached the central probe agency’s offices at around 11 am, before which officials told news agency PTI case investigators plan to record the Trinamool leader’s statements and confront him with ‘evidence’ about his role and links to other accused.
Banerjee was last questioned in this case in September. His wife, Rujira, was also summoned and is expected at the agency office tomorrow, PTI reported.
Both Abhishek Banerjee and Rujira Banerjee were summoned Thursday, after the Delhi High court refused relief to either Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s nephew or his wife.
