Former Union Minister and senior Trinamool Congress MP Sudip Bandopadhyay was on Friday grilled for long hours by the Enforcement Directorate in the Rose Valley chit fund case.
Bandopadhyay who was earlier arrested by the CBI and spent about an year in jail was currently out on bail. Sources in the ED said Agency was not satisfied with the answers and documents provided by Bandopadhyay.
“Documents were incomplete and replies were too,” sources said adding the MP had been asked to appear once again with relevant documents supporting his claims.
Another TMC MP Tapas Paul had also been summoned by the ED.
Reacting to the Friday’s development a visibly livid Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said Bandopadhyay was being unnecessarily being harassed by the agencies at the direction from Delhi. “I want to know what has he done? Why is he being persecuted and harassed like this?”
She said Bandopadhyay’s fault was that he had been vocal in parliament against the BJP.
Meanwhile the CBI which was also probing the chit fund cases had issued summons to senior IPS officers including Kolkata Police Commissioner Rajeev Kumar, A Ghosh and former Additional CP Pallab Kanti Ghosh. Ghosh has already appeared before the CBI and recorded his statements.
