New Delhi: The suspended Member of Parliament from Trinamool Congress Kunal Ghosh had alleged on Monday that TMC chief and Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee and Mukul Roy are also involved in the multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam.
Ghosh said, “Mamata Banerjee is using her clout to influence the case of Saradha scam. She and Mukul Roy have jointly siphoned off money of Saradha chit fund. I don’t understand that when I am arrested, I am kept in jail but why are ministers who are arrested on similar allegations given VIP treatment.”
He had said a CBI court hearing the scandal that has singed the Mamata government in West Bengal for months now. Mukul Roy is a former Union Railways Minister and a senior Trinamool leader.
Kunal Ghosh was arrested in November last year for cheating, breach of trust and criminal conspiracy in a case related to a complaint by a Saradha Group firm called Broadcast Worldwide about its failure to pay salaries to its employees.
Ghosh had named 12 people including CM Banerjee after some hours of his arrest who were behind the scam in a Facebook post.
West Bengal Transport Minister and senior Trinamool Congress leader Madan Mitra was arrested by the Centeal Bureau of Investigation in connection with the scam few days ago.
