CBI summons Trinamool Abhishek Banerjee after SC stays probe order

The CBI has sent summons to TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee on Monday (April 17) for questioning in the education recruitment scam. He was asked to appear tomorrow on Tuesday (April 18) at the Nizam Palace in Kolkata. Abhishek Banerjee has targeted the BJP after receiving summons from the CBI.

Abhishek Banerjee tweeted, "BJP in its desperation to harass and target me has ordered CBI and ED to commit contempt of court. In the morning, the Supreme Court stayed the Calcutta High Court order allowing central agencies to summon me. Still today at 1:45 pm the summons was given. It's a serious situation."

Summons sent after stay by Supreme Court

Abhishek Banerjee, nephew of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, received a CBI summon, hours after the Supreme Court stayed his interrogation in a case of alleged corruption in teachers' recruitment.

Trinamool leader Anubrata Mandal, considered close to the chief minister, was arrested in July last year in the same case. Apart from this, TMC MLA Jeeban Krishna Saha, arrested for his alleged involvement in teacher recruitment scam, has been sent on 4-day CBI remand on Monday.

Center accused of misuse of central agencies

Opposition leaders can attack the central government after CBI summons to Abhishek Banerjee. Because the opposition is constantly accusing the central government of misusing the central investigative agencies. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was questioned by the CBI on the previous day on Sunday itself in a case of alleged corruption in making liquor policy.
