Kolkata, Sept 13: Abhishek Banerjee, the National General Secretary of the Trinamool Congress, appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) headquarters in Kolkata on Wednesday after being summoned by the agency in relation to an alleged recruitment scam.
The TMC MP was served with a summons a few weeks after federal investigators raided the office of “Leaps and Bounds Pvt Ltd,” which they claimed was “used for making dubious transactions running into crores of rupees.”
The Enforcement Directorate asserted that Banerjee serves as the company’s CEO.
In response to the ED’s notice, the leader of Trinamool said on Sunday that the notice required him to appear before the agency on September 13, the same day that the Opposition INDIA bloc’s coordination committee is slated to meet in Delhi.
Banerjee is a member of the coordination committee for the INDIA grouping and was supposed to be present at the conference today.
“FIRST meet of INDIA’s coordination comm (committee) is on 13th Sept in Delhi, where I’m a member. But @dir_ed conveniently served me a notice just now to appear before thm [them] on the VERY SAME DAY! One can’t help but marvel at the TIMIDITY & VACUOSNESS of the 56-inch chest model. #FearofINDIA,” Banerjee posted on X (formerly Twitter).
