Coal scam case: ED summons TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee, wife Rujira

New Delhi/Kolkata/IBNS: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Trinamool Congress (TMC) national general secretary and Lok Sabha MP Abhishek Banerjee, his wife Rujira Naroola Banerjee, and two senior Bengal cadre IPS officials in connection with its ongoing probe into a busted illegal coal mining and smuggling case.

Abhishek's lawyer Sanjay Basu has been summoned by the agency in a multi-crore Pincon ponzi firm case, officials said Saturday afternoon.

According to sources in the ED, the central economic intelligence agency has served notices to Rujira Banerjee, Abhishek Banerjee, DIG Midnapore Range IPS Shyam Singh and ADG CID IPS Gyanwant Singh asking them to join the investigation on Sept 1, 3, 8 and 9 respectively.

Abhishek and his wife have been asked to appear at the ED headquarters in New Delhi.

Meanwhile, advocate Sanjay Basu, who is very close to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's nephew Abhishek Banerjee, has been asked to appear before ED investigators at CGO Complex in Kolkata on Monday in connection with the chit fund probe.

Before the West Bengal assembly polls, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is also probing the coal scam case, quizzed Rujira and her relatives in connection with the case.
