<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNew Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n
Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate for questioning in an alleged foreign exchange violation case, sources said Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The agency’s summons – its third to the former Krishnanagar Lok Sabha MP – came days after the Central Bureau of Investigation filed a police case and raided her Kolkata home in the cash-for-query case that led to Ms Moitra’s hugely controversial expulsion from Parliament in December.<\/p>\n
A parliamentary ethics panel found Ms Moitra’s conduct “immoral (and) indecent”.<\/p>\n
She has been accused of taking Rs 2 crore in cash, as well as luxury gift items, from a businessman – Darshan Hiranandani – to ask questions critical of the government in Parliament. She was also accused of sharing log-in details to her confidential account on the parliament website.<\/p>\n
Mr Hiranandani has also been summoned for questioning, sources told NDTV.<\/p>\n
Ms Moitra has denied the bribery charges (but said she did share portal credentials, arguing it is common practice among MPs). The Supreme Court will hear this case in May.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
