'Will cooperate to the best of my abilities': TMC MP Nussrat Jahan on ED summons in financial irregularity case
Kolkata/IBNS: Actress and Trinamool Congress MP Nussrat Jahan, who has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate in a financial irregularity case, said she would "cooperate" with the probe agency if she receives any notice.
Speaking to the media, Nussrat said, "I have been working since morning so I couldn't check whether any notice has been sent or not.
"But if there is something like that, I will definitely cooperate to the best of my abilities."
Nussrat has been asked to appear before ED at CGO Complex at Salt Lake, Kolkata on September 12.
What is the accusation?
The complaint filed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shankudeb Panda with the ED claimed a financial entity named Seven Sense Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd., where Nussrat reportedly served as the director for a few years, received around Rs 6,00,000 from each of the duped investors and promised them residential flats at reasonable rates within the span of four years.
It has been alleged that Nussrat also took a loan from the company and bought her house.
Nussrat's previous reaction
After the allegations were levelled against her, Nussrat, who is an MP from West Bengal's Basirhat constituency, held a press conference at Kolkata Press Club for a "clarification".
"The company, which I had quit in 2017, had given me a loan but I have returned it back with interest. I have all my bank statements,"Nussrat had said.
"I have the details of my bank transactions. If someone needs to check, they can approach the court for a copy," said the TMC MP flashing the documents. "I am three hundred percent away from corruption," she had added.
