The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Saturday registered two fresh cases against Sudipta Sen, Chairman of Saradha group, in connection with the Saradha scam. The cases related to alleged cheating of investors in Assam by the company.
According to a CBI spokesperson, cases of alleged cheating and criminal breach of trust have been registered against the Sen and the now defunct Saradha Group companies.
The Saradha Group, which was involved in various money collection schemes in West Bengal and the neighbouring states including Assam went bust in April 2013. Sen was arrested later that month by the West Bengal police from Jammu and Kashmir. He has since then been in police custody.
Apart from Sen, the other office bearers of the company include MP Kunal Ghosh. Ghosh was also the CEO of the group’s media arm.
The other major arrests include Trinamool MP Srinjoy Bose and State Transport Minister Minister Madan Mitra.
In Assam, major arrest includes that of singer Sadananda Gogoi.
