Kolkata, Jun 5 (IBNS): The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has summoned IPS officer SMH Mirza who was seen accepting money in Narada sting footage, which came to light in 2016.
Mirza has been asked to appear before investigators at Nizam Palace in Kolkata on Jun 6.
In the footage, several Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders were seen accepting money.
The sting footage was produced by Narada News ahead of the 2016 West Bengal assembly elections.
The footage had rocked the West Bengal politics with the opposition parties accusing the ruling TMC of being involved in corruption.
Since Mar 14, 2016, news portal- Narada News- released several sting operation footage, where TMC's leaders, ministers, MPs and MLAs were exposed while allegedly taking bribes.
From the beginning, TMC leaderships had claimed that the sting footage was doctored and conspiracy of oppositions.
