Trinamool Congress leader Partha Chatterjee, who was admitted to AIIMS Bhubaneswar on Monday, landed at the Kolkata airport early Tuesday morning, from where he will be taken to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office at CGO complex Saltlake.

Following this, the ED, which is probing the money trail in the alleged scam, prayed for 14-day custody of Chatterjee before a special court. The probe agency said the mountain of cash found at Chatterjee's aide's home belonged to the minister. The court sent Chatterjee and his aide Arpita Mukherjee to the Enforcement Directorate's custody till August 3.

Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for the second round of questioning in the money laundering case linked to the National Herald newspaper. Meanwhile, the Congress party workers are holding protests in the national capital.
