Narada sting: Bengal Minister Suvendu Adhikari appears before CBI for interrogation

Kolkata, Sep 22 (IBNS): After being summoned twice, West Bengal Transport Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Friday appeared before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for interrogation in connection with Narada sting operation, sources said.

According to sources,  Adhikari reached the  CBI office in south Kolkata's Nizam Palace in the morning, where he is currently being questioned.

Earlier on Sep 11,  Adhikari was quizzed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the same case.

Since Mar 14 last year, news portal- Narada News- released several sting operation footage, where TMC's leaders, ministers, MPs and MLAs were allegedly seen accepting bribes.

From the beginning, TMC leadership had claimed that the sting footage was doctored and a conspiracy of the opposition parties.

After getting direction from the Calcutta High Court and Supreme Court, the CBI has started a probe into the case.

On April 17, the investigation agency registered an FIR in connection with the case under several non-bailable sections against 12 influential leaders, cabinet ministers, MLAs and MPs of TMC and one senior IPS officer, who were seen allegedly taking bribes in the sting footage, reports said.

Besides CBI, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), has registered a money laundering case in the Narada sting and currently investigating the case.
