Kolkata, Feb 1 (IANS): The CBI on Thursday questioned Manik Majumdar, a close aide of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and also summoned Trinamool Congress MP Derek O'Brien, officials said.
A senior official told IANS: "We questioned Majumdar in connection with Chief Minister's painting case."
