New Delhi, Aug 27 (IANS) The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will cross-examine Trinamool Congress MP K.D. Singh, Narada News Managing Director Mathew Samuel and a third person in connection with the Narada sting operation, sources said on Tuesday.
A CBI source related to the investigation told IANS: "The agency has asked Singh to depose on Wednesday for cross-examination."
The source said Singh did not appear before the CBI on July 29 citing personal reasons.
The 'whistle blower' in the case, Samuel, was confronted by the CBI along with Singh's personal secretary.
In 2016, Samuel, the Editor and Managing Director of Narada news portal, had broadcast a sting video just before the West Bengal Assembly elections.
In the video, a number of TMC leaders, including MPs and Ministers, were allegedly seen taking money on camera.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is also probing the money trail in the case.
Several legislators and TMC leaders have been quizzed so far.
On June 2, the ED had issued summons to Shreya Pandey, daughter of state Consumer Affairs Minister Sadhan Pandey, and estranged wife of former Kolkata Mayor Sovan Chatterjee -- Ratna Chatterjee -- for questioning in the case.
Chatterjee joined the BJP earlier this month.
