Four days before West Bengal goes to polls, the Enforcement Directorate filed its first chargesheet in the multi-crore rupee Saradha chit fund scam case Kolkata: Four days before West Bengal goes to Assembly polls, the Enforcement Directorate filed its first chargesheet in the multi-crore rupee Saradha chit fund scam case, naming ex-Trinamool Congress MP Srinjoy Bose and chairman of the now-defunct group Sudipta Sen among others. Apart from Bose, who quit both Trinamool Congress and his Rajya Sabha membership early this year, ED has named Sudipta Sen, his senior employee in the Saradha group Debjani Mukherjee, his wife Piyali Sen, son Shubhojit, businessmen Shantanu Ghosh and Ramesh Gandhi, Saradha agent Prashant Naskar, former Union Minister Matang Sinh, and his estranged wife Manoranja Singh. The chargesheet, official sources said, has also put on record transactions made through 91 bank accounts, out of the total 338, that were used to indulge in the alleged chit fund scam on numerous gullible depositors in the three states. The chargesheet, sources said, only pertains to the spread of the scam in West Bengal, which goes to polls from 4 April, and not in Assam and Odisha.
