The case pertains to mismatches in signatures of some TMC legislators on a resolution regarding appointments for important slots in the West Bengal assembly that are reserved for the Opposition bench.
The West Bengal probe agency also interrogated Beleghata TMC MLA Kunal Ghosh on Sunday in the case. During their questioning, CID officials highlighted a few crucial inconsistencies in the statements given by Abhishek Banerjee and Kunal Ghosh. The probe officials had to summon Abhishek to seek further clarifications.
Earlier, it was reported that Abhishek and Ghosh were questioned by the CID’s investigating officials separately on Sunday. Later, they were reportedly made to sit face-to-face and questioned together.
