Trinamool Congress leader Anubrata Mondal, who skipped a CBI summons in a cattle smuggling case citing health reasons, was greeted with 'chor chor' slogans at SSKM hospital in Kolkata.
The CBI had summoned Mondal, TMC’s Birbhum district president, on August 5 to appear before it on Monday.
When he complained of health issues, a seven-member medical team was set up at the SSKM hospital to conduct a health checkup. The team of doctors found that there was no need for hospitalisation.
When the TMC’s leader was taken out of the hospital, he was greeted with slogans.
Mondal had earlier been questioned twice by the central agency as part of its investigation.
The CBI has in the recent past conducted raids at various locations in the district in connection with the cattle smuggling case. Mondal’s bodyguard Saigal Hossain has also been arrested by the probe agency.
