Saradha scam quizzing

Kolkata: Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member Kunal Ghosh on Saturday faced four-hour police grilling in connection with the multi-crore Saradha scam, a day after he raised the banner of revolt against the party leadership.

He will again be quizzed Sunday.

Ghosh said a “conspiracy” has been hatched against him.

“A conspiracy has been hatched against me. But who all are behind the conspiracy I can’t say. I am ready to face any probe. I’ve full confidence in the police, the detective department and (chief minister) Mamata Banerjee,” Ghosh said.

This is the second time that Ghosh has been questioned in relation to the scam.

Ghosh, who got a call Friday night from Bidhanagar deputy commissioner (detective department) Arnab Ghosh, said: “I’ll come again tomorrow (Sunday). I am prepared to fully cooperate with police.”

Ghosh, and two actor-turned-MPs Satabdi Roy and Tapas Pal, had shared the dais at a blood donation camp here Friday alongside rebel party legislator Shikha Mitra and her husband Lok Sabha member Somen Mitra, who is perceived to be emerging as a rallying point of the rebels.

Roy and Pal praised Shikha Mitra, who has been for quite some time using every opportunity to take pot-shots at the leadership including Banerjee for the way the party was being run and has also filed a defamation case against Trinamool heavyweight Partha Chatterjee.

“She has the guts to say the truth,” commented Roy.

The leadership later said Ghosh, Roy and Pal will be show-caused for the “anti-party” comments.

Speaking at the camp, Ghosh had lambasted the party leadership alleging he was being made a victim of the Saradha controversy by those involved in the scam and apprehended he could be killed by those trying to hush up the issue. (IANS)
