Abhishek Banerjee, the national general secretary of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), has been summoned by the West Bengal Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for questioning in connection with the legislators' signature forgery case.
He was first summoned on June 1 but cited illness and sought more time, and was then asked to appear for questioning on June 8, but did not turn up.
The third summons, served at his Kalighat residence, gives him only 24 hours to appear for questioning.
The case involves allegations of signature forgery on a May 19 resolution nominating Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay as the assembly's leader of opposition (LoP), and Abhishek Banerjee is a key suspect because he forwarded the resolution to the speaker.
