Kolkata, March 10 : The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is planning to question Trinamool Congress leader Anubrata Mondal and his daughter Sukanya Mondal together in connection with the multi-crore cattle smuggling scam in West Bengal, a source said on Friday.
"The process of taking Mondal to Delhi by ED started almost three months back. However, it got delayed repeatedly as he approached multiple courts. But better late than never and ultimately, he is on his way to Delhi," said an ED officer. Mondal was arrested in September last year by the Central Bureau of India (CBI) for his alleged involvement in the multi-crore cattle scam in West Bengal. Since then, he has been under judicial custody at the Asansol Special Correctional Home. On Tuesday morning, first a joint team of the correction home and Asansol-Durgapur Police Commiserate reached the ESI hospital in Kolkata at around 11.15 a.m. After a four-member medical team conducted a three-hour medical examination and provided the `fit` certificate to the accused, the ED took over.
