The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has summoned Trinamool Congress MLA Saokat Molla in connection to a coal smuggling case in West Bengal.
Mollah is the party’s sitting MLA from the Canning (East) Assembly constituency in South 24 Parganas district.
He has summoned to appear at the CBI’s office in Kolkata on Friday at 11 am.
CBI sources said that although the coal-belt of Asansol in West Burdwan district was the base of smuggling rackets, the investigating sleuths have recently identified several points where the coal smuggled illegally were sent to different areas in the state.
