A division bench of Calcutta High Court on Tuesday upheld an earlier order of the single-judge bench of the same court ruling out the requirement of a parallel probe in the coal smuggling scam by the CID.
The sources said that some of the bureaucrats and police officers will be questioned about their assets and would be asked to specify the source of income for the purchase of such assets.
Hours after the ED summon, Abhishek Banerjee said at the Trinamool student wing's foundation day programme on Saturday, "The BJP thinks it can put pressure on us by using ED against us, but we will only emerge stronger."
The CBI raids included the premises of Amit Agarwal, a close aide of key accused Anup Majhi aka Lala in connection with the illegal coal smuggling case.
