The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has sought response from four bureaucrats in West Bengal on the sale of shares of the state government in Metro Dairy. Sources in the ED said that the directorate has sought written replies from them. They may also visit the ED office if they wished to.
"It is a routine query. The ED wants to ascertain the process of the sale of shares of the state government to a private party," sources said. Asked whether the bureaucrats have been asked to depose before the ED, sources said, "It is not exactly that way. We want written replies. Deposing before the ED is an option".
