Matang Sinh: Anil Goswami accepts speaking to CBI?
"The admission came at his meeting with Union home minister Rajnath Singh here on Wednesday, during which he was asked to explain the allegations that he had tried to dissuade the CBI from arresting Sinh," The Times of India reported.
Goswami's action, seen as a "misdemeanour" and his "interference into the affairs of an autonomous probe agency", could make his continuation as home secretary "untenable", sources close to the home minister indicated to TOI.
"It is now for the Prime Minister to take a call on the next course of action," a home ministry official was quoted as saying to the news paper.
Matang Sinh was arrested in Kolkata on Saturday in connection with the Saradha chit fund scam.
The CBI had arrested him after questioning him for more than seven hours.
According to reports, he has been arrested on charges of criminal conspiracy, cheating and misappropriation of funds.
