Neither Lok Pal has uploaded any referral order on the website as per the Lokpal Act, nor has CBI released any official statement. ‘Sources’ telling journalists, as per the usual media circus. Hope the ₹13,000 crore Adani coal scam merits a CBI preliminary inquiry before my witch-hunt,”
Moitra had stated in November.
Moitra Denies Wrongdoing and Submits Responses to CBI
To ED Summons TMC Leader Mahua Moitra, Moitra, consistently denying any wrongdoing, submitted her responses to a CBI questionnaire on Thursday regarding corruption allegations in her parliamentary inquiries. The CBI is currently reviewing her responses and will subsequently submit a report to the anti-corruption ombudsman Lokpal, which initiated the matter.
The CBI is conducting a preliminary inquiry into the accusations against Moitra based on Lokpal’s reference. As part of its investigation, the agency has reportedly spoken to lawyer Jai Dehadrai and businessman Darshan Hiranandani.
