News Desk: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday questioned TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee in connection with the illegal coal mining scandal in West Bengal.
He arrived at ED’s Jam Nagar house office around 11am on Monday and was interrogated by the investigating officer.
Before leaving for Delhi on Sunday, Banerjee said, “I am going to Delhi and I am ready to face any kind of investigation. If any agency can prove that I was involved in any such transaction even if it is of 10 paisa, I am ready to face the gallows. There won’t be any need for any central agency to probe. But they should first make it public”
An ED officer, requesting anonymity, said, “We have reliable statements and evidence on Abhishek Banerjee’s role, but investigation is on”
Outside the ED office, Banerjee said he will cooperate with the probe agencies.
