Talking to reporters, Abhishek said that I have come here because I was summoned by the agency. He has said that he will cooperate with the agency in the investigation.
Sources say that Abhishek will go to the ED office and answer the questions of the officials.
Speaking to reporters at the Kolkata airport before leaving for Delhi on Sunday, Abhishek had alleged that the BJP was doing this out of political vendetta after losing the assembly elections.
He said that during the public meetings in November, I am repeating what I had said that if any central agency proves my involvement in any transaction or corruption even of 10 paise.
Then there is no need for CBI or ED investigation, I will hang myself in public.
