Arrested Trinamool MP urges police to take Mamata's help

"Help should be sought in the probe from those who knew Sen, and received direct or indirent help of the Saradha Group, or know things in some other way," he said, and gave 12 names including state Sports Minister Madan Mitra, besides Banerjee.




The other names included those of some MPs and newspaper owners, and Trinamool national general secretary Mukul Roy.

Mitra said law would take its course. "I am a minister. A probe is on. If I say anything, the probe may be affected. So I won't make any comment."

However, he rubbished the reference to Banerjee in Ghosh's post. "Banerjee is one of the best social activists in the world."

Asked whether he was prepared to face any probe, Mitra said: "500 percent".

Ghosh said those he has named were also "respected" and "eminent". "I am not making any allegations. I am only talking of seeking help."
