As reported in the media the CBI has registered 46 FIRs, while the CBI has filed cases against Sudipta Sen, chairman-cum-managing director of Saradha Group,Debjani Mukherjee, the then director Saradha Realty,Kunal Ghosh, the CEO Saradha Media also a TMC MP,Somnath Dutta, the then senior vice-president Saradha Media ,Manoj Naghel the then Director of Saradha Realty and an employee of Saradha Group of Companies Aurobindo Chauhan.
Kanchan Prasad, chief information officer of CBI said, “As directed by the Supreme Court, the role of the regulatory authorities like Securities Exchange Board of India, RBI and Ministry of the Corporate Affairs would also be probed into. CBI will also probe the money trail along the line of the larger conspiracy angle,” .
While it is known that out of the 46 FIRs, only four are fresh, three in West Bengal and one in Odisha and 42 cases have been taken over from the Odisha Police, a CBI spokesperson added that the larger conspiracy angle that included the role of the regulatory authorities and related money trail in this scam, will also come under the scanner during investigation.
According to CBI sources, all documents related to Saradha scam, including a letter written by Sudipta Sen to the agency, would also be scrutinised. In Bengal, whole bunch of cases had been registered by the state police and the FIRs of similar nature will be clubbed.
The SIT formed by the Bangla state government to probe these cases is still in the process of handing over all the documents pertaining to the cases to the CBI.Meanwhile, the enforcement directorate, which was entrusted earlier the job of conducting parallel investigations, will soon start the process of attaching property and assets of the Saradha Group.
In last after more than a year CHANGING BENGAL now hopes, that under the guidance of the new government at centre, more things will now move fast and as the result of investigation the government will be able to unearth a major part of the scam money that is part of people's hard savings, deposited with this Saradha Group.
CHANGING BENGAL hopefully assumes that CBI's fast investigation help to recover a substantial part of the people's lost investment in this group, and if that is returned than it will save many thousands of innocent but mainly the poor people of Bengal and Odisha from this financial and social torture that they were facing for more than a year due to this scam of Saradha group.
Moreover the most feared part that may be visible as the result of this CBI investigation is that it will bring out many political and influential skeletons out of the Saradha cup board before the watchful eyes of Bengal public.
