The Calcutta High Court on Thursday directed Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee to appear before the state CID by 6 pm in connection with its probe into the alleged forgery of signatures of two party MLAs, while granting him interim protection from any coercive action for three weeks.
Justice Kausik Chanda, hearing Banerjee's plea seeking protection from coercive action and quashing of the FIR registered in the case, directed the Diamond Harbour MP to appear before investigators at the CID headquarters, Bhabani Bhaban, for questioning. Banerjee's counsel informed the court that the MP was scheduled to arrive in Kolkata from Delhi around 4 pm. The matter will be heard again after two weeks.
