Mahua Moitra was summoned by ED and handed over answers to CBI’s questions.

“Neither has the Lokpal uploaded any referral order on its website as per the Lokpal Act nor has the CBI put up anything officially. ‘Sources’ are telling the tabloids as per the usual media circus. Hope Rs 13,000 crore Adani coal scam worth Rs 1000 deserves CBI PE before my witch hunt,” Moitra had posted on X in November 2023.

Earlier today, it was reported that Moitra had sent her response to a questionnaire by the CBI on allegations of corruption in raising questions in the House, officials said on Thursday.

He said the CBI is investigating the response after which it will send a report to the anti-corruption ombudsman Lokpal which had referred the case to the agency. The agency is conducting a preliminary inquiry into the allegations against Moitra on the reference of the Lokpal.

He said that it is understood that CBI has also spoken to lawyers Jai Dehadrai and Hiranandani in connection with its inquiry.

Questions sent by PTI There was no response from Moitra and CBI has also maintained silence on this issue.
