Kolkata/IBNS: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday summoned Trinamool Congress (TMC) candidate in the ongoing Bengal assembly polls, Manas Bhunia, and another candidate Madan Mitra's son, Swarup Mitra, in connection with its ongoing probe into the multi-crore ICore chit fund scam, officials said.

According to sources in the Central economic probe agency, Manas Bhunia and Swarup Mitra have been asked to appear before the investigators at the ED office in Kolkata's Salt Lake on Apr 19 and Apr 23 respectively.

Days ago, the ED had sent notices to state Education Minister Partha Chatterjee and former TMC councillor, Bappaditya Dasgupta, in connection with the same case asking them to visit the ED office for interrogation on Apr 19.
