New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday dismisses bail plea of former union minister Matang Sinh who was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the Saradha ponzi scam.
On January 31, 2015, CBI has arrested Sinh in connection with the Saradha chit fund scam (which is related to Saradha Realty, one of the companies of the group which is being probed by the CBI) on charges of criminal conspiracy, cheating and misappropriation of funds, causing trepidation among members of the higher bureaucracy and police corps he is perceived to be friendly with.
During the course of investigation, Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) asked the CBI to act fearlessly against the Congress leader for his involvement in the scam. Then the PMO intervenes after Sinh’s started flexing muscles in the corridor of power to secure his release.
Then, CBI has reportedly told the PMO that a senior officer at the Ministry of Home Affairs tried to stall Sinh’s arrest in the scam. Based on CBI charges former home secretary Anil Goswami was later shown the door.
