Cattle smuggling scam: ED summons Anubrata Mandal’s daughter again

Kolkata (IANS) | The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has again summoned Sukanya Mandal, daughter of Trinamool Congress stalwart Anubrata Mandal, to the agency’s headquarters in New Delhi for questioning in connection with the multi-crore cattle smuggling scam in West Bengal. This is the third time Sukanya Mondal has been called to the national capital for questioning after her father was taken to New Delhi in connection with the probe into the case. However, she did not appear on both the first occasions.

Agency sources said that in the third summons, Sukanya Mandal has been asked to appear on April 12.

His father Anubrata Mandal is in judicial custody in Tihar Jail.

It is not yet clear whether Sukanya Mandal will respond to the third summons. The last time the ED called her to New Delhi, the agency officials had warned of strict legal action if she did not turn up. He was called to New Delhi for the first time on 15 March. Every time she told ED that she would not be able to go to Delhi due to health reasons.
