The CBI reached Abhishek’s residence just before noon and the examination went on for around an hour, sources said. The team left around 1.15 pm amid a heavy police presence. The agency sought the examination of Rujira to ascertain the details of her bank transactions, suspecting a connection to the proceeds of the illegal coal excavation money, sources said.
On Monday, the CBI examined Rujira’s sister Menaka Gambhir in connection with the same case. Two woman officers of the CBI visited Ms Gambhir’s residence off EM Bypass and had examined her for nearly three hours. The developments come months ahead of the assembly elections in the State with Trinamool Congress alleging it to be a political vendetta.
