The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday issued summons to TMC leader and West Bengal Sports minister Arup Biswas in connection with Rs 1,900 crore money-laundering case involving the Alchemist Group, a senior official said.

The Bengal minister was asked to appear before the ED officers at its city office on Thursday morning, he said.

“Biswas has been issued summons in connection with the Alchemist scam. We have a few specific questions for him,” the ED officer told PTI.

Biswas, sources said, sent a communication to the ED office requesting them to grant him some time to appear before their officers.

Calls to the minister went unanswered.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
