ED questions Nusrat Jahan for nearly 6 hours in cheating case

Actor and Trinamool Congress MP Nusrat Jahan was on Tuesday questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for nearly six hours in Salt Lake in connection with a cheating case.

Jahan, who is the latest TMC leader under the scanner of central probe agencies, reached ED’s Salt Lake office around 11 am.

The Basirhat MP was summoned by the ED in connection with cheating allegations against a private company, Seven Sense Infrastructure Pvt Ltd.

A group of senior citizens, accompanied by a local BJP leader Shankudeb Panda, had recently lodged a complaint to the ED, accusing the real estate company of cheating them by promising flats at affordable rates in the New Town area. They alleged that Seven Sense Infrastructure Pvt Limited received lakhs of rupees from people but did not deliver them flats. Instead, they alleged, that the directors of the company, including Nusrat Jahan, used the people’s money to construct their own flats.

Jahan has rejected the charges, saying she had taken a loan from the company and repaid it with interest in May 2017.
