Mukul Roy The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday issued summonses to two Trinamool Congress leaders, including MP and popular Bengali actor Dev, for questioning in connection with its probes into money laundering cases, an official said.
The probe agency summoned TMC Ghatal MP Dev aka Dipak Adhikari over his alleged involvement in a money laundering case linked to a cattle smuggling scam, asking him to appear before its officers in New Delhi on February 21.
The ED also asked senior TMC leader Mukul Roy to be present for questioning in the national capital on February 19 in connection with its investigation into siphoning of funds in a chit fund case.
The ruling TMC hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre and accused the ED of “harassing” Dev.
“Dev was being pressured by the BJP and its senior leaders. He is being harassed just because he refused to budge an inch. Jo jhukega nahi, uske ghar me agency bhej dega BJP (If someone doesn’t bow to BJP, they will send ED to their house)…They (BJP) came to know that Dev is very much in TMC and he went to Arambagh with Mamata Banerjee. Also, when it was clear that he will contest the (Lok Sabha) election on a TMC ticket, they directed the agency to harass him,” said TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh.
