Abhishek Banerjee questioned again by CID over alleged Chattopadhyay forgery
Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Abhishek Banerjee is back for another round of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) questioning, this time over alleged forgery in documents naming Sovandeb Chattopadhyay as Leader of the Opposition in West Bengal.
Officials weren't satisfied with his earlier responses and now want him to submit specific paperwork to clear things up.
Kunal Ghosh summoned amid signature discrepancies
On the same day, TMC MLA Kunal Ghosh has also been summoned by CID: his session is set for around 3pm
Investigators might even bring Banerjee and Ghosh face-to-face during questioning, since discrepancies were spotted in signatures supporting Chattopadhyay's nomination last month.
The investigation kicked off after a first information report (FIR) was filed when inconsistencies showed up between signatures on different documents submitted by TMC MLAs.
Several TMC members have already been questioned as part of this ongoing probe.
