Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Srinjoy Bose, who was arrested yesterday in connection with the Saradha scam, has been remanded to CBI custody by a local city court till November 26.
Bose is the second TMC leader to be arrested in this case.
Earlier this month, Trinamool Congress MP and Saradha scam prime accused Kunal Ghosh was hospitalized after he allegedly tried to commit suicide in jail. A suicide note and sleeping pills were also recovered from his cell.
Ghosh, who headed Saradha media arm before being arrested in November last year, has been alleging the involvement of several leaders of the ruling Trinamool Congress including its top brass.
He had threatened to commit suicide when he was produced before the special CBI court probing the scam, demanding the immediate arrest of those who were involved in the swindle. (ANI)
