CBI interrogates TMC MP Sultan Ahmed

The CBI today interrogated senior TMC MP Sultan Ahmed for his alleged role in the Narada video tapes scandal which purportedly showed him accepting bribe to favour a fictitious firm.
Ahmed was quizzed for nearly seven hours by the CBI officials here.
The TMC MP is the third person to have been quizzed by the investigating agency after his younger brother Iqbal Ahmed, a Trinamool Congress MLA and deputy mayor of Kolkata Municipal Corporation, and IPS officer S M H Mirza.
According to CBI sources, the TMC MP may be summoned again after verifying his today's statements to the agency's officers.

After coming out of the CBI office here, Ahmed said, "I have tried to answer all the questions to the best of my ability and knowledge. I have fully cooperated with the CBI. In future too, I will cooperate with it."
The Narada tapes, which were released before the 2016 assembly elections in West Bengal, allegedly showed several Trinamool Congress MLAs and MPs accepting money from journalist Mathew Samuels who posed as a businessman.
No arrests have been made so far in connection with the case.
