KOLKATA, June 20: The CID on Saturday questioned senior TMC MLA Sovandeb Chattopadhyay at his residence here as part of its investigation into the alleged forgery of signatures on a letter submitted to the Assembly Speaker over the appointment of the Leader of Opposition.
A two-member team of the state’s CID visited Chattopadhyay’s residence in Bhawanipur and spoke to him for more than an hour.
The visit marks the latest step in the widening probe into the politically sensitive case that has emerged amid an acrimonious battle for control of the TMC legislature party following the party’s defeat in the recent assembly elections.Chattopadhyay said he was willing to extend full cooperation to the investigation.“I will cooperate with the probe more than 200 per cent. But those who made the allegations (of signature forgery) should also be questioned because everyone was present when the proposal was signed,” the MLA said. (PTI)
