Saradha: CBI interrogates TMC MP
He was quizzed for nearly two hours, reports said.
In a new revelation in the multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam, Saradha official and Sudipta Sen aide Arvind Singh Chouhan had earlier pointed fingers at senior TMC leader Mukul Roy.
Chouhan on Tuesday told the CBI that that Roy and TMC MP Subhendu Adhikari met Sen before he went into hiding last year.
He said he is a witness to Roy and Sen's meeting on April 5, 2013.
West Bengal ex-DGP Rajat Majumdar was also present at the meeting.
Chouhan was arrested along with Sudipta Sen from Kashmir shortly after the scam surfaced.
He is currently out on bail and has claimed that he is innocent.
Suspended Trinamool Congress MP Kunal Ghosh has earlier accused the West Bengal Chief Minister of having benefitted the most from the multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam.
The Saradha Group that went bust last year left lakhs of depositors in a fix.
Saradha Group chief Sudipta Sen and Saradha Group director Debjani Mukherjee were arrested in April 2013 from Jammu and Kashmir.
He was absconding since Saradha Group collapsed.
The duo is now in jail in the ponzi scam. Sen had claimed that he was blackmailed and used by politicians mainly from Banerjee's Trinamool Congress.
