As West Bengal inches towards the assembly elections, the Central Bureau of Investigation team has gotten active.

On Sunday, the CBI served a notice on Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee's wife and sister-in-law to join the probe in the coal pilferage case.

Abhishek is Trinamool supremo and Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's beloved nephew.
