Bengal Coal Smuggling Scam: ED questions Rujira Narula
Share:

KOLKATA: The Enforcement Directorate (ED), which is investigating the multi-crore coal smuggling case in West Bengal with the CBI, is now seeking to question Rujira Narula Banerjee, the wife of Trinamool Congress national general secretary and party MP Abhishek Banerjee.

ujira has already received a note from ED sleuths requesting that she provide a tentative date and time for her presence.  Officials from the ED will decide on their next course of action once Rujira responds.

Abhishek Banerjee had already been questioned by the ED in New Delhi on this matter.  The CBI has questioned Abhishek Banerjee, Rujira, and her sister Maneka Gambhir, but the ED has yet to speak with the final two.

According to sources, the ED currently feels that interviewing Rujira and Maneka Gambhir is absolutely important in order to follow the money trail of the case, particularly the bank accounts where a share of the unlawful trade's transactions was transferred.

The Supreme Court of India granted Abhishek Banerjee and Rujira protection from arrest on May 17. The couple was also allowed to attend for ED questioning in Kolkata instead of  New Delhi, as the agency sleuths had requested.
