CBI Appears To Agree With Video, Says Trinamool Big Shots Took Bribes

Some of the biggest leaders of Mamata Banerjee's party have been named today by the CBI for allegedly accepting bribes and criminal conspiracy, based on footage that shows them accepting large amounts of cash. NDTV cannot verify the authenticity of the video, which was released by a web portal naradanews.com on March 14 last year, just before the assembly elections in West Bengal. The "Narada sting", as it is called (for the name of the website), had no impact on Trinamool fortune in the election. Mamata Banerjee was re-elected without any problems for a second consecutive term.
