Abhishek Banerjee Appears Before CID in Signature Forgery Case
Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Abhishek Banerjee arrived at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) headquarters in Kolkata on Monday for questioning in connection with a signature forgery case. The development comes as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged irregularities.
Banerjee, who is also the party's national general secretary, reached the CID office at Bhaban Bhawan around 11 am. He is expected to be examined by officers regarding the case, which has drawn significant political attention in West Bengal.
In a related development, TMC MLA Kunal Ghosh is scheduled to appear before the CID officers at the same location around 3 pm. Ghosh has been summoned separately as part of the probe.
The signature forgery case involves allegations of tampering with documents, and the CID has been conducting a thorough investigation. Both Banerjee and Ghosh have maintained their innocence, with Banerjee stating earlier that he would cooperate fully with the authorities.
The questioning is expected to continue over several hours, and the CID may record their statements under the relevant legal provisions. Political observers are closely watching the developments, as the case has implications for the ruling TMC in the state.
