The Enforcement Directorate which has lodged a suo motu complaint in the Narada pay of case has summoned Narada News chief Mathew Samuels to record his statement ahead of calling Trinamool Congress politicians accused of taking bribe in the case. Samuels has been asked to appear on May 18, ED sources said.
The Agency which was probing the case alongside CBI is likely to question the Narada journalist regarding the source of the money paid to the politicians. He would also be asked to give details of the amounts paid to various people during the Narada expose. Top Trinamool Congress leaders including Sougato Roy, Sultan Ahmed, Mukul Roy, Prasun Banerjee (all MPs) and Ministers like Suvendu Adhikary, Subroto Mukherjee, Madan Mitra, Iqbal Ahmed were allegedly seen taking cash-for favour from a journalist who faked as a prospective investor in the State.
