As per sources in the police, Biswas was sent a second summons on Friday, asking him to appear before the police for questioning on Monday morning. New Alipore police pasted two notices at the former minister’s residence on Sunday.
The TMC leader was issued a summons based on a complaint filed by Satadru Dutta, the organiser of Lionel Messi’s event in Kolkata’s Salt Lake Stadium last year. Biswas was earlier asked to appear for questioning by June 5. Aroop Biswas, through his advocate, had requested the Bidhannagar South police station for a two-week extension for the appearance deadline, citing his physical illness. Notably, one of the notices pasted on Sunday mentions that no medical documents were produced while seeking the extension.
