Trinamool Congress leader and spokesperson Kunal Ghosh on Tuesday, 2 March, appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in connection with its probe into the Saradha chit fund case.
“I have placed a copy of Sudipto Sen's letter on record because the letter has many incidents, amounts, and names that should come under investigation. ED officials have accepted it,” Ghosh told ANI after his questioning.
Ghosh, who was summoned by the financial probe agency for questioning, appeared before the agency sleuths at its CGO Complex office in Delhi, IANS reported.
His statement was recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
An ED source told IANS that the agency was probing the flow of funds which Ghosh had allegedly received from the Saradha group and also the money laundering angle.
Ghosh was earlier interrogated by the agency in connection with the case in July 2019 and in October 2013.
