The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has initiated a probe against former Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mahua Moitra, following orders from the anti-corruption ombudsman Lokpal. The investigation concerns allegations of a cash-for-query scheme involving Moitra, where she is accused of accepting money in exchange for raising questions in Parliament under Section 20(3)(a) for 'quid pro quo'. Lokpal has directed the CBI to file a case against Moitra and to submit a report on their findings within six months. The directive comes after the Lokpal found "sufficient prima facie evidence" warranting further investigation into the allegations against Moitra. In addition to the cash-for-query case, advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai has filed a defamation suit against Moitra for allegedly making defamatory statements about him in various media outlets. The Delhi High Court has issued summons to Moitra in response to Dehadrai's plea. Concurrently, the CBI is conducting searches at multiple locations linked to Moitra, including her residences in Kolkata, as part of their investigation into the allegations.
