ED officials visited the residence of Abhishek Banerjee in Kalighat and issued a fresh summons in the teachers’ recruitment scam case, directing him to appear on June 16. He has been questioned earlier and also faces CID summons in a separate alleged fraud case. He is likely to accompany Mamata Banerjee to Delhi on June 8 for an INDIA bloc meeting.

Kolkata: Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials on Wednesday had reached the Kalighat road residence of Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP and national secretary Abhishek Banerjee to summon him over the teacher's recruitment scam.

According to central agency sources, Banerjee has been asked to be present before ED officials on June 16.

Notably, besides questioning his wife Rujira Narula Banerjee, the ED had summoned Banerjee multiple times in the past as well in both Kolkata and Delhi.

Banerjee is supposed to be present before state CID over alleged MLAs signature fraud scam, but reportedly Banerjee will accompany TMC Supremo Mamata Banerjee at the national capital on June 8 to attend a meeting of I.N.D.I.A bloc.
