The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday questioned TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee’s brother-in-law Ankush Arora and his father, Pawan Arora, for nearly seven hours in connection with the coal pilferage case. Ankush is the husband of Banerjee’s sister-in-law Menaka Gambhir.
According to CBI sources, the duo might be questioned again if required in connection with financial transactions related to a specific bank account.
Banrejee’s wife Rujira and her sister Gambhir were also questioned earlier. The Diamond Harbour MP had alleged that the BJP was “misusing” the CBI against its political opponents and said he was not afraid of Central agencies.
