Trinamool Congress MP Sougata Roy on Tuesday appeared before Enforcement Directorate in connection with Narada sting operation case.

The Enforcement Directorate has issued fresh summons to Narada news CEO Mathew Samuel in its money laundering probe, initiated after a sting operation purportedly showed several TMC leaders, including MPs and ministers, taking money.

The anti-corruption wing of the CBI today said it would submit the preliminary report of the inquiry into the Narada sting operation to the Calcutta High Court, if asked to do so.

Immigration authorities on Saturday detained Narada News CEO Mathew Samuel at the Indira Gandhi International Airport here on his arrival from the US following a lookout notice issued against him by the Kolkata police.

With Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee ordering a probe into the Narada sting operation, police have registered an FIR against Narada News CEO Mathew Samuel on a complaint filed by city Mayor and Fire and Emergency Services Minister Sovan Chattopadhyay's wife.

 The Ethics Committee of the Lok Sabha has sought CDs and video footage from the Narada News portal company on the sting done on Trinamool Congress leaders.

This sting operation may lead to a huge negative impact on Mamata Banerjee and her party Trinamool Congress in upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections.
