"We have also asked him to submit his mobile phone to our officers on Monday. He has been directed to appear on December 22," the CID official told PTI.

The CID officer said two FIRs were filed in the case in September under different sections of the IPC.
The probe agency has already questioned De twice – on December 1 and December 16.
At present, several important cases are being heard by the bench of Justice Amrita Sinha, including the ones related to alleged irregularities in recruitment of school teachers in West Bengal.
