The daughter of arrested TMC politician Anubrata Mondal and his chartered accountant have been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) Delhi headquarters on November 2 for questioning over the agency's investigation into cattle smuggling in Bengal.
ED detectives may examine the two individuals together, an agency official said on Friday.
"We have asked Anubrata Mondal's daughter Sukanya Mondal and his CA Manish Kothari to appear at our New Delhi office next Wednesday. We have plans to question them together," he said.
The official stated that Sukanya Mondal, who is the owner of two firms, will be questioned on the "huge wealth she amassed in a short time."
Sukanya Mondal had already received a summons to appear at the Delhi office on October 27, but she skipped the session, according to sources in the ED.
"Kothari has been told to bring with him all documents related to Anubrata Mondal's properties, his income and savings in different bank accounts," the ED official stated.
However, according to her lawyer, the TMC leader's daughter never got such a notice.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is running a separate investigation into cross-border cattle smuggling, arrested the leader of the ruling party in August.
The Birbhum leader was accused of aiding and abetting livestock smuggling in a chargesheet the CBI had presented earlier in the month before an Asansol-based special court.
