TMC MP Nussrat Jahan arrives at ED office in financial irregularity case
Kolkata/IBNS: Actress and Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Nussrat Jahan on Tuesday arrived at the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office at CGO Complex in Salt Lake, Kolkata for quizzing in the financial irregularity case.
A summon was sent to Nussrat, a popular Bengali film actress, last week.
What is the accusation?
The complaint filed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shankudeb Panda with the ED claimed a financial entity named Seven Sense Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd., where Nussrat reportedly served as the director for a few years, received around Rs 6,00,000 from each of the duped investors and promised them residential flats at reasonable rates within the span of four years.
It has been alleged that Nussrat also took a loan from the company and bought her house.
Nussrat's previous reaction
After the allegations were levelled against her, Nussrat, who is an MP from West Bengal's Basirhat constituency, held a press conference at Kolkata Press Club for a "clarification".
"The company, which I had quit in 2017, had given me a loan but I have returned it back with interest. I have all my bank statements,"Nussrat had said.
"I have the details of my bank transactions. If someone needs to check, they can approach the court for a copy," said the TMC MP flashing the documents. "I am three hundred percent away from corruption," she had added.
