The Enforcement Directorate (ED) was left red-faced when Maneka Gambhir, the sister-in-law of TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee, arrived at its office in Kolkata past midnight as the notice served on her in a money laundering case asked her to appear before the agency at 12.30 a.m. on September 12.
Wearing a blue kurta, Ms. Gambir reached the ED office at CGO complex in the Salt Lake area and posed for a picture before a locked office along with the notice, which the agency later termed as a “typographical error”.
“I was served with notice to report at 12:30 a.m. and so I had come,” Ms. Gambhir later told a local news channel. She was accompanied by a lawyer during her midnight visit to the ED office.
