NEW DELHI: Sukanya Mondal, daughter of Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Anubrata Mondal, was on Wednesday quizzed by the Enforcement Directorate at the agency headquarters in Delhi in connection with the multi-crore cattle smuggling scam in West Bengal.
The ED had summoned the daughter of the arrested Trinamool Congress leader to appear before it in New Delhi to interrogate her about the source of the huge wealth she has amassed in the last few years, PTI had quoted an ED official as saying earlier.
Sukanya Mondal, who is a primary school teacher in Birbhum district, was summoned to appear at the ED New Delhi "basically to get answers from her regarding the huge wealth she amassed in a very short time."
"We are interested in her source of income," the ED official had told PTI over the phone.
She had avoided meeting a team of CBI officers who had gone to her Bolpur residence in August in connection with their investigation into the cattle smuggling scam.
The central agency suspected that several bank accounts belonging to Sukanya were used for financial transactions in the cattle scam.
The CBI had arrested Anubrata Mondal, considered to be a highly influential leader of the TMC, in August in connection with their probe into the scam.
