    Digital Desk: Former union Minister of Assam and ex-MP from Lakhimpur Ranee Narah, was summoned by the Chief Minister's Special Vigilance Cell (CM's SVC) in connection with an alleged MP fund scam.

    In connection with a scam, Ranee Narah has been directed to appear in CM's SVC office on Tuesday.

    Sources claim that an amount was allocated from Ranee Narah’s Members of Parliament Local Area Development Division (MPLAD) fund in 2013-14 for the installation of hand pumps in the Jorhat district. However, a case alleging embezzlement in the MPLAD fund was registered in 2017.

    After receiving the summon by the CM’s SVC, Ranee Narah said, Ranee Narah said, "I received the summon from the CM Vigilance in 2019 itself, but at the time they said I didn't need to go."

    He added, "Now they have launched a political conspiracy against me to divert attention from the land scam issue of the chief minister."
