By PTI

KOLKATA: Trinamool Congress chief Anubrata Mondal was interrogated by the CBI on Thursday in reference to its investigation right into a cattle smuggling case in West Bengal, an official stated.

Mondal, the TMC’s Birbhum district president, reached the CBI workplace at Nizam Palace right here round 9.45 am, he stated.

“The investigating officer in the case is interrogating him. He will be asked around 24 questions set by our detectives in connection with his alleged involvement in the scam,” the officer advised PTI.

Mondal is cooperating, he stated.

The TMC chief has earlier been summoned by the investigating company for questioning a number of instances, however he didn’t seem as soon as citing ill-health.

The CBI had on September 21, 2020 filed a case towards BSF commandant Satish Kumar and a number of other others in reference to unlawful cattle commerce alongside the India-Bangladesh border in West Bengal, which was going down allegedly in connivance with public servants.

Mohammad Enamul Haque, the alleged kingpin of the racket, was arrested from New Delhi in November 2020.
