Kolkata: West Bengal Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has intensified its probe into the case related to alleged forgery of the signatures of several Trinamool MLAs on a May 6 resolution for the election of the Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly.
The CID on Thursday questioned All India Trinamool Congress general secretary Abhishek Banerjee for hours in connection with this case. Sources said that following a lengthy interrogation, Banerjee has been directed to appear at Bhabani Bhawan (West Bengal Police headquarters) again.
At the heart of the investigation lies the controversial resolution book, the document where the proposal to elect the Leader of the Opposition based on the MLAs' consent was allegedly adopted. Investigators believe this document could be the most crucial piece of evidence in verifying the facts of the case.
