Actor and former TMC MP Nusrat Jahan appeared before the Enforcement Directorate in Kolkata today in connection with an ongoing investigation into a housing scam.
Joined by her husband Yash Dasgupta, the former parliamentarian declined to speak with reporters upon her arrival at the agency's office.
"She has been summoned in connection with an ongoing investigation into a housing fraud case. Certain new information has emerged over the past few months, necessitating her appearance," an ED official said.

The Central agency is probing allegations of fraud linked to a housing project in Rajarhat, where a firm had allegedly collected money from buyers on the promise of providing flats but failed to deliver. Jahan was previously associated as a director of the company under scrutiny, according to officials.
The actor had earlier been questioned by the agency in 2023 for nearly six hours in connection with the same case.
The complaint was lodged by BJP leader Shankudeb Panda, who alleged that over 400 senior citizens were duped by the firm during 2014-15 after being promised 1,000 sq ft flats in exchange for payments of around Rs 5.5 lakh each.
The complainants allegedly neither received the flats nor refunds.
Jahan has denied all allegations, including any association with the company as a director.
