New Delhi:  TMC leader and partyโ€™s Birbhum district president, Anubrata Mondalโ€™s daughter Sukanya Mondal on Wednesday appeared before Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the multi-crore cattle smuggling scam in West Bengal.

Mondal reached the Enforcement Directorate headquarters here following a summon from the federal agency to face questioning. The move comes days after a special court of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) at Rouse Avenue Court in Delhi remanded Sehgal Hossain, a bodyguard of Anubrata Mondal to seven days of Enforcement Directorate custody in connection with the case.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is conducting a parallel probe into the cattle-smuggling scam, has also questioned Mondal in the case.

The CBI has recently submitted a fresh charge sheet at a special court in Asansol in West Burdwan district in West Bengal, where the agency named TMC heavyweight Anubrata Mondal as the direct beneficiary of the cattle scam. The CBI has also underlined the details of the huge assets and property of Mondal and his family members in the charge sheet.

The CBI arrested Anubrata Mondal on August 11 in connection with the multi-crore West Bengal cattle smuggling scam. As per investigators, a chain of shell entities was used in the process of fund diversion.

The money reportedly transferred to the accounts of those entities who are at the rudimentary level of the chain, the officials said, adding, โ€œThe accused subsequently diverted a portion of the proceeds received to multiple tertiary shell entitiesโ€.

He said that Congress MLAs in Rajasthan who revolted against the party must be punished. In a bid for his taking over as CM he said, โ€œItโ€™s time now to end the climate of indecision in Rajasthan.โ€

Rajasthan is due to vote in 13 months. Sachin Pilot said observer KC Venugopal had said a decision on โ€œthe Rajasthan situationโ€ will be taken soon.

Speaking with reporters he said observers took it seriously. He said, โ€œThe party has said it was indiscipline. Three MLAs got notices. There should now be action.โ€

Speaking with reporters he said, โ€œAs far as Raj is concerned, a CLP meet called on 25 Sept couldnโ€™t be held. AICC considered it a matter of indisciplineโ€ฆ Rules same for all. So, if indiscipline occurred & replies were given, action should be taken. I believe party chief Kharge will take a decision soon.โ€

Taking a dig at Ashok Gehlot he said, โ€œI find the heaps of praises by PM Modi (on CM Gehlot yโ€™day) very interesting. PM had similarly praised GN Azad in Parliament. We saw what happened after that. It was an interesting development yโ€™day. Shouldnโ€™t be taken lightlyโ€ฆโ€

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and CM Gehlot had shared a stage. They attended a programme at Mangarh Dham in Rajasthanโ€™s Banswara. Speaking at the event, PM Modi said, โ€œAshok ji and I have worked together as chief ministers. He was the senior-most in our lot. He is still one of the senior-most chief ministers among those who are sitting on the stage right now.โ€

Pilot also noted that Gehlot had apologized to Sonia Gandhi, the partyโ€™s then-leader, for the resistance his supporters had shown to promoting him to the national stage.

Pilot and Gehlot are guilty for acting against the party line.
