The Enforcement Directorate has summoned Trinamul Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee’s wife Rujira and her sister Menaka Gambhir to its New Delhi office for questioning on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, in connection with alleged coal smuggling in Bengal.
Abhishek, Trinamul’s national general secretary and the nephew of chief minister Mamata Banerjee, was supposed to appear before ED officers in Delhi on Tuesday for questioning. The Diamond Harbour MP excused himself from the appearance citing personal problems and communicated the same to the ED through an email.
Abhishek, Rujira and Menaka had already faced the ED interrogation in the case.
