Kolkata, March 12 : Moving ahead with its probe into the illegal coal smuggling case and the ICore chit fund case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has summoned Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee s sister-in-law Menka Gambhir s father-in-law and husband for questioning.
The CBI also summoned Trinamool Congress leader and Education Minister Partha Chatterjee in connection with the ICore chit fund scam on March 15.
A source related to the probe told IANS: The CBI has summoned Menka Gambhir s father-in-law Pawan Arora and husband Ankush Arora for questioning on March 15 at its office here.
Investigators, looking into the money-laundering aspect of the Ponzi firms, are trying to know the reason behind the presence of the two ministers at the iCore sponsored programme. Bhuniya had later claimed that as people’s representatives, politicians have to attend many programmes and that mere presence at an event did not prove any criminality.
“I’ve been an honest person all along. I can’t comment on anything as long as I see the notice, ” Chatterjee said.
TMC MP Saugata Roy said: “The two allies of BJP (CBI and ED) are being used at the whims of Centre. It is a ploy before the assembly polls. They are trying to malign the image of the party.”
