She was also asked to carry important documents like details of bank statements, Income Tax return files as well her property and asset details.
On Friday, she arrived 10 minutes before the given time.
Addressing mediapersons before she entered the ED office, Ghosh said: “I was in the district for campaigning for the panchayat polls. I was asked to be present on a 48-hour notice. Since I have been summoned, I have arrived here in time. I intend to cooperate to the best of my ability."
