When reminded that the ruling TMC was against a CBI probe into the scam, Ghosh said, “Let there be a CBI inquiry into at least my connection with the Saradha Group, which will bring out the fact that I was just an employee of the group and have done no wrong.”
Earlier in the day, Ghosh said, “If police want to arrest me, they can do so. Before the arrest, I will seek permission to conduct a press conference. I have a lot of things to say.” He was summoned to the commissionerate for interrogation this morning for the second consecutive day. He was grilled for four hours yesterday.
Reacting to statements by a section of the TMC leadership terming him a “politician without a popular base” and an “opportunist”, Ghosh said, “I hear a lot of statements from various sections. I will like to say that I have also been a part of the struggle that Mamata Banerjee had waged during the Singur and Nandigram movement.”
Bidhannagar police said Ghosh was summoned for questioning in order to verify several facts that had come up during the Saradha investigation since April.
“If needed, he (Ghosh) may be summoned again (for questioning),” said Aranab Ghosh, DC (DD), Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate.
