The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday questioned Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP and party national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee at its New Delhi office for nearly eight hours in a money laundering case linked to an alleged coal scam in West Bengal.
Abhishek (34), nephew of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, entered the new office of the central agency in central Delhi around 11am and left shortly before 8pm.
He was accompanied by his security personnel and legal team.
Officials said Banerjee’s statement was recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and he was confronted with some “evidences” gathered by the investigators.
