Trinamool Congress MP from Basirhat Nusrat Jahan was on Tuesday questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a real estate fraud involving a company with which the MP had been engaged as a director in the past.
Ms. Jahan arrived at the ED office in Kolkata at about 10.45 a.m. and was there for about six hours. “I have answered all their questions,” she later said.
Allegations of financial wrongdoing against the real estate company with which Ms. Jahan was associated came to the fore in August this year. “I resigned from the Seven Sense Infrastructure Company on March 1, 2017 and have [had] no connection with the company since. I own no stakes in the company and my bank statements will prove this. Hence, the allegation that I siphoned off public money to buy a house is incorrect,” Ms. Jahan said.
