The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Saturday stated that the agency has

initiated a probe into the cash-for-query allegations against Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra.

“We have initiated an inquiry on orders of Lokpal.

We have not registered a Preliminary Enquiry or FIR against Mahua Moitra as yet," CBI sources told IToday TV.

The CBI inquiry has been initiated against Moita based on a complaint from BJP MP Nishikant Dubey

who accused the TMC leader of taking a bribe from a businessman for

"asking questions in Parliament".

Dubey said earlier that, Lokpal, on November 8,

"ordered a CBI inquiry against accused Mahua Moitra for indulging in corruption at the cost of national security."

Dubey, in his complaint, accused Moitra of asking questions in the Lok Sabha to target the Adani Group and

Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the behest of businessman Darshan Hiranandani in exchange for gifts
