Trinamool Congress leader, Anubrata Mondal, was remanded in a 10-day CBI custody on Thursday, in connection with a cattle smuggling case in West Bengal.
Mondal was arrested from his Bolpur residence, on the allegation that he was not cooperating with Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
On Wednesday, Mondal wrote to CBI about his inability to appear citing "illness" as a reason, PTI reported.
The TMC Birbhum district president, who is in his 60s, attached copies of two prescriptions along with his letter and sought two weeks time from the officers of the probe agency to appear before them
