Bengal Coal Scam: TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee Skips Appearance Before ED in Money Laundering Case

 

New Delhi: Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee on Tuesday, March 29 skipped his scheduled appearance before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Delhi for a fresh round of questioning in a money laundering case linked to an alleged coal scam in West Bengal, sources said.

Banerjee’s wife Rujira too had failed to appear at the ED office here on March 22 and she has now been asked to depose on Wednesday.

Her sister Menaka Gambhir, examined by the CBI in this case last year, is also expected to be questioned in the coming days.

Banerjee, the 34-year-old nephew of West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, is said to have sent an email to the investigating officer of the case citing some personal reasons for his non-appearance.
