2 July 2017 6:17 PM GMT
The CBI quizzed Tripura's ruling CPI(M) leader Gautam Das last month on the Rose Valley chit fund scam involving duping of investors. In a statement issued last evening, Das, while denying media reports that he was interrogated twice last month by the CBI, said he was quizzed only once.
Das, a central committee member of the party, said the questioning was held on June 16 in the office of party mouthpiece 'Daily Desherkatha'.
In his statement, Das said "an inspector of CBI's Kolkata office contacted me over mobile phone on June 15 last and said he was keen to speak to me about the Rose Valley group court case at any convenient place. "I told him to come to Daily Desherkatha office on June 16. The officer got my e-mail address and sent me a notice under 160 CrPC as witness." Das said an Additional SP and an inspector met him in the office and asked some questions in the presence of an advocate.
