Saradha scam: Enforcement Directorate may grill Trinamool Congress ministers, leaders

KOLKATA: The Enforcement Directorate did not rule out the possibility of grilling Trinamool Congress leaders and ministers in the multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam, the agency said.

Referring to the interrogation of Trinamool Congress candidate from Balurghat Arpita Ghosh in the scam, a senior ED official told PTI, "From now on, we will call whoever is needed for investigation in the scam."

Asked whether there were chances that Trinamool ministers and leaders would be grilled, he said "Nobody is out of our radar."

The ED had yesterday interrogated Ghosh for more than two and a half hours at its Salt Lake office.

The ED had arrested Saradha Group chairman Sudipta Sen's wife Piyali Sen and son Subhojit though an SIT was set up by the state government to investigate the scam.

The ED's investigation had led to a war of words between the state government which had accused ED of acting at the behest of Union Finance Minister P Chidamabaram, a charge denied by him.
