Supreme Court lawyer Jai Anant Dehadrai has been summoned by the CBI for questioning in connection with the corruption allegations against Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra, who was expelled from the Lok Sabha last month. The probe revolves around ‘cash for query’ charges, accusing Moitra of accepting bribes for raising critical questions about the government in Parliament.

Mahua Moitra faced expulsion from Lok Sabha based on findings from the Ethics Committee, which concluded that her actions were “highly objectionable, unethical, heinous, and criminal.” BJP’s Nishikant Dubey, who raised the ‘cash for query’ allegations, prompted the investigation.
