Saradha chit fund probe: ED notice to Satabdi Roy, Kunal Ghosh and four others for interrogation next week

The Enforcement Directorate on Monday sent notices to six persons in connection with the Saradha chit fund probe. This includes Trinamool Congress Lok Sabha MP Satabdi Roy, former Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP Kunal Ghosh and East Bengal club official Debabrata Sarkar.

They were asked to be present for interrogation next week.

Already the ED has summoned Bengali film actors Rituparna Sengupta and Prasenjit Chatterjee in connection with the Rose Valley chit fund probe.

Last week, the ED officers interrogated Trinamool Congress leader Madan Mitra in connection with the Rose Valley chit fund probe.

ED and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) have been conducting the two probes and several key persons are being questioned in this context.

Trinamool MP Satabdi Roy, a former Bengali film actor, was a brand ambassador for a company under Saradha during its heydays. The investigating agency is keen on learning the financial aspects of Roy’s links with the company.

Also, businessman Shibaji Panja has been summoned by the CBI to probe his alleged links in the Saradha chit fund scam. Among others, artist Suvaprasanna and former CPIM leader Lakshman Seth have already been interrogated by the two central investigating agencies.
