Abhishek Banerjee, Trinamool Congress leader and Member of Parliament, has been served a notice by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) today at around 2:30 PM. He has been asked to appear at Nizam Palace tomorrow as part of an ongoing investigation.
The CBI notice comes amidst Abhishek Banerjee's ongoing political campaign, the Navjwar Yatra, which has gained significant attention across West Bengal. However, due to the notice and travel restrictions imposed, Abhishek Banerjee will be returning to Kolkata today itself.
The Navjwar Yatra, which had temporarily paused, is set to resume from Sonamukhi on the 22nd of this month. Abhishek Banerjee's campaign has been drawing large crowds and generating considerable political interest ahead of the upcoming elections.
As per the CBI notice, the investigative agency's office will be present at Nizam Palace tomorrow at 1 o'clock, awaiting Abhishek Banerjee's appearance for questioning. The reasons and details surrounding the investigation have not been disclosed yet.
Abhishek Banerjee, who is the nephew of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, holds a prominent position within the Trinamool Congress party. The CBI notice has raised political speculations and added a new dimension to the ongoing political landscape in the state.
