The CBI has reached home to question Rujira Banerjee, daughter-in-law of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in the coal scam. Mamta, daughter-in-law, and nephew reached Abhishek's house before the investigation agency team arrived. She stayed here for about 10 minutes and took her eight-year-old granddaughter along on the way. She did not want the granddaughter to be present during the interrogation.

Trinamool furious over CBI action
The raid in the house and office of Abhishek Banerjee's close friends has led to the outbreak of Trinamool Congress leaders. They allege that BJP is resorting to CBI to create pressure in Bengal elections. Trinamool MP Saugat Roy said there was no ally with the BJP. His colleagues are CBI and ED. With this help, they threaten other parties. Pressure is also being put on the Trinamool. Whatever notice has been given to our leaders, we will fight it legally.
BJP said, only wrongdoers are afraid
The BJP has retaliated on the Trinamool allegations. BJP West Bengal president Dilip Ghosh said that the CBI had started investigating the matter much earlier. This is not the first time that notices are being sent and inquiries are taking place. CBI is working within the purview of the law. The people of Trinamool are afraid because they have done wrong. Those who do wrong things are afraid.
