Trinamool heavyweight Mukul Roy summoned by CBI

Kolkata, Jan 12 (IBNS) In a major development, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday summoned All India Trinamool Congress General Secretary Mukul Roy for questioning in connection with the Saradha chit fund scam.

Reports said  the summons notice to Roy was sent via e-mail, asking him to appear before the agency this week.

The CBI move came as a major jolt to the ruling Trinamool Congress in West Bengal as one of its Ministers- Madan Mitra and two MPs--Srinjoy Bose and Kunal Ghosh have already been arrested as suspected collaborators of the scam.

Roy is considered to be the most powerful leader in Trinamool Congress after the party supremo Mamata Banerjee.

He is a former Minister of state for Railways.

The multi-crore scam left lakhs of depositors fleeced and triggered a political uproar.

Reports said Roy had been summoned after his call records showed he had frequent telephonic talks with Saradha chief Sudipta Sen, who is now behind the bars.
