The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday questioned Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s nephew, Abhishek Banerjee, for almost nine hours in its probe related to money laundering worth ₹1,352 crore in illegal coal mining scandal in the state.
The 33-year-old Lok Sabha MP, also the de-facto number 2 of the TMC, is an alleged beneficiary of funds obtained by accused persons in the illegal mining case, according to an earlier claim by the central agency.
Banerjee arrived at ED’s Jam Nagar house office around 11am on Monday and left around 8 pm after almost nine hours of interrogation.
