The CBI on Monday questioned relatives of Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee in connection with its investigation into the multi-crore coal pilferage case.
The central agency had on Friday issued a notice to Ankush Arora, husband of Menaka Gambhir who is the sister-in-law of Banerjee, for questioning in the illegal coal mining case.
The agency also asked Gambhir’s father-in-law Pawan Arora to join the investigation.
“Both have appeared before the anti-corruption branch officers at CBI’s Nizam Palace office here for interrogation,” a source in the agency said.
A CBI team had on February 23 visited the residence of Banerjee and examined his wife Rujira in connection with the case. The agency also examined Rujira’s sister on the previous day on the same matter.
