Taking to Twitter Abhishek accused the BJP of making the CBI and ED liable for contempt of court in their desperation to harass him. "In its desperation to ‘harass’ and ‘target’ me, BJP EXPOSES CBI & ED to CONTEMPT OF COURT! SC stayed the Calcutta HC’s order in the morn that granted permission to the Central Agencies to summon me. Yet, the ‘SUMMON’ was HAND-DELIVERED today at 1:45 pm. Grave State of affairs!" tweeted Abhishek.

Interestingly, the photograph of the CBI summon attached by Abhishek with his tweet, shows that the summon was sent on April 16, a day before the Supreme Court stayed the Calcutta High Court's order stating that Abhishek should be questioned in relation to the bribe-for-school jobs case.

The Calcutta High Court made the observation during the hearing of a petition pertaining to a bribe-for-school jobs case. During the hearing, Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay took note of a public meeting where Abhishek alleged that some people in police custody have revealed that they were being pressurized to take Abhishek Banerjee's name.

On Monday, the Supreme Court stayed the Calcutta High Court's order stating that Abhishek should be interrogated by the CBI and ED in relation to the bribe-for-school jobs case. The top court had also stayed the High Court's order directing the West Bengal Police not to lodge any FIR against CBI and Enforcement Directorate officers investigating the case.
