In connection with the central investigation agency's probe on West Bangal's school jobs scam, Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee on Thursday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and submitted several pages of documents, said a senior officer.
According to the officials, Banerjee, who reached the ED office at Kolkata's CGO Complex in Salt Lake around 11.10am, was not questioned by the agency's officers, he said.
"Mr Banerjee was not asked any question today by our officers. He submitted the documents and left," the officer told PTI.
It has been reported that the probe agency will take a call on whether to summon the party's national general secretary again after verifying the documents, he added.

Why did ED summon Abhishek Banerjee?
After skipping the initial October 3 summon to participate in a protest rally in New Delhi demanding the immediate release of MGNREGA dues to the state, the Enforcement Directorate summoned the Diamond Harbour MP on November 9.
Earlier, the federal investigation agency had on September 13 questioned Banerjee for nearly nine hours in the alleged school recruitment scam.
Earlier, the two-time TMC MP was questioned by the ED twice in the coal pilferage case, once in the agency's office in the national capital in 2021 and again in Kolkata in 2022.
