CPI(M) demands CBI probe into Bengal ponzi scam

“If the chief minister of Karnataka can be arrested after a CBI probe or a union Cabinet minister can be sent to jail, why can't the CBI take up investigation into this case,” Mishra asked.

He said, lot of unearthing has to be done and investigations should be carried out properly under the apex court's directions.

Suspended Trinamool Congress MP Kunal Ghosh was arrested yesterday by Bidhannagar Police in connection with the Saradha Group ponzi scam.

Ghosh, the CEO of Saradha Group's media arm, was charged under sections 420 (cheating), 406 (criminal breach of trust) and 120B (conspiracy) of the IPC.
