TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee travels to Delhi to attend ED's summon in illegal coal mining case

Kolkata/IBNS: Trinamool Congress (TMC) National General Secretary and Diamond Harbour MP Abhishek Banerjee on Sunday evening left for Delhi to join the Enforcement Directorate (ED)'s investigation into an illegal coal mining and smuggling scam.

Days ago, the Central economic intelligence agency had served notices to Mamata Banerjee's nephew Abhishek Banerjee and his wife Rujira Naroola Banerjee, asking them to appear at the ED headquarters in Delhi on Sept 6 and Sept 1 respectively.

Citing her two infants' health concern amid the pandemic, Rujira Banerjee skipped the summon and requested the investigators to question her at her Kolkata residence.

Abhishek Banerjee said that he will appear before ED investigators on the given date (Monday, Sept 6).

"I am ready to face any investigation by any probe agency and that's why I am going to Delhi to join the ED investigation," Abhishek Banerjee told the media at Kolkata airport before taking a flight to Delhi.

"After being defeated here in West Bengal, the ruling party in Centre has been practicing a politics of revenge and misusing its agencies against us," Banerjee said.

"If any agency can prove or release in public that I was ever involved in a scam of 10 paisa, I will accept a death penalty," the all India General Secretary of TMC added.

Besides ED, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is also probing the recently unearthed Bengal-based illegal coal mining and smuggling racket.
