ED Issues Fresh Summons To TMC's Abhishek Banerjee, Wife in Coal Scam Case

The agency has asked Banerjee and his wife to join the investigation on 21-22 March.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday, 17 March, issued fresh summons to Abhishek Banerjee, the nephew of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, and his wife Rujira and asked them to join an investigation in connection with a coal scam case, reported news agency PTI.

The investigation would be held on 21 and 22 March, reported news agency IANS.

Last year, on 6 September, after an interrogation which lasted for six hours, Abhishek Banejree had recorded his statement before the ED. However, the probe agency wasn't satisfied with the questioning and hence summoned him again on 10 September along with his wife.
