Kolkata: On a day the CBI cited his continuance in the state cabinet as a proof of his immense influence, West Bengal’s transport minister and Saradha scam accused Madan Mitra stepped down from the post on Wednesday.
According to sources, Mitra’s resignation was accepted by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee who forwarded it to Governor.
The move came hours after the CBI pointed to a division bench of the Calcutta High Court about Mitra continuing as a state minister despite being indicted and jailed in the multi-crore-rupee scam. (IANS)
