KOLKATA: TMC’s Vinay Mishra, an accused in the illegal coal mining and cross-border cattle smuggling cases in West Bengal, is believed to have left the country, CBI sources claimed on Sunday.
He was “absconding” for the past several months.
The CBI has received “inputs” that Vinay has gone to Vanuatu in Polynesia and may want to join the investigation virtually.
Mishra’s lawyers have refused to comment on it.
“The Calcutta HC had asked Vinay Mishra to appear before it on May 3.
He could not appear due to the pandemic and we sought a modification of the order.
The hearing is scheduled on Monday,” said Ayan Poddar, Mishra’s lawyer.
The CBI had issued a lookout circular against Vinay this March after an arrest warrant was issued by the agency’s special court in Asansol.
CBI sources said Vinay allegedly worked as a frontman for Enamul Haque — the prime accused in the cross-border illegal cattle trade — and stashed money for him.
