Rose Valley scam: ED officer Manoj Kumar summoned by Kolkata Police

Kolkata WB: Enforcement Directorate officer Manoj Kumar, who failed to appear earlier in connection with the Rose Valley scam, was on Friday summoned by the Kolkata Police.

Kumar, the nodal investigating officer of the Rose Valley Scam, also has money laundering charges against him.

The Rose Valley scam is considered as the biggest ponzi fraud in India in which thousands of small investors were allegedly cheated.

Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Sudip Bandhopadhyay was arrested by the CBI in the matter.

The CBI had earlier on December 30 arrested TMC MP Tapas Paul for his alleged involvement in this scam.

The actor-politician was a director in two companies of the Rose Valley, a leisure and entertainment group, that has been accused of illegally accumulating Rs.17,000 crores in small savings through a Ponzi scheme. The group has been under investigation for almost two years. (ANI)
