The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday questioned Trinamool Congress general secretary and Diamond Harbour MP Abhishek Banerjee for more than six hours in connection with a case of coal smuggling from a coalfield in West Bengal.
Abhishek, the nephew of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, reached the agency’s office in CGO Complex at Salt Lake near Kolkata around 11am. A large police contingent was deployed in the complex.
Speaking to mediapersons after emerging from the ED office, Abhishek launched an attack on Union Home Minister Amit Shah, alleging that it was Shah who received proceeds of crime in the cattle and coal scams.
