Narada scam: CBI summons state minister Subrata Mukherjee, TMC MP Kakali Dastidar

The CBI has summoned panchayat minister Subrata Mukherjee and TMC MP Kakali Ghosh Dastidar in connection with its probe into Narada sting case of 2014. Only a day ago, the CBI had summoned another Trinamool MP, Sougata Roy, in connection with the probe.

The agency had also interrogated party MP Sultan Ahmed and his brother Iqbal Ahmed, a Trinamool Congress MLA and deputy mayor of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC), in connection with its probe into Narada scam.

Sources in Trinamool Congress here said that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is utterly displeased as the CBI had started issuing summon notices to many of her MPs and MLAs before the July 17 presidential elections and Trinamool's rally here on July 21.

It is learnt that CBI on Wednesday summoned Mukherjee who on Thursday sought time from the probe agency to appear before them.

"I shall go to CBI office any day after July 21," Muykherjee told reporters on Thursday. Instead of appearing personally before the CBI, Mukherjee on Thursday sent his lawyer to the probe agency's office to inform them that he would appear before them any day after July 21.

The CBI is probing the Narada sting operation scam following a Supreme court order and had already filed an FIR against a dozen of Trinamool Congress leaders and one IPS officer.
