Kolkata, Jan 5 (IBNS): The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday filed the sixth supplementary chargesheet in connection with their ongoing probe into the Saradha financial scam where they named the wife of former finance minister P. Chidambaram's wife Nalini, sources said.

According to sources, the chargesheet was filed in a special court in Kolkata on Monday.

"Nalini Chidambaram was a lawyer of former union minister Matang Sinh's estranged wife Manoranjana Sinh. Saradha Group of Companies used to pay for her fee. In the chargesheet, the CBI did not mention her name as a conspirator, accused or witness. She has been mentioned here as a person who has a fair knowledge about the controversial channel deal between Saradha and Manoranjana Sinh's GNN India," one senior CBI official told IBNS.

In April 2013, Saradha CEO Sudipta Sen wrote a letter to the CBI where it was mentioned that Nalini had been paid from Saradha's account, a CBI source said.

Nalini Chidambaram was earlier quizzed by CBI officials in Chennai on Sept 20 in 2014, in connection with the multi-crore Saradha financial scam.

However, in this supplementary chargesheet, the CBI has charged Sudipta Sen, Manoranjana Sinh and her company GNN India and Kolkata based entrepreneur Santanu Ghosh and his bike manufacturing company Global Automobiles under IPC sections 420 (Cheating), 409 (Criminal breach of trust), 120-B (Criminal Conspiracy) and Section 4 and 6 of Prize Chits and Money Circulation (Banning) act 1978, according to CBI sources.
