West Bengal Police on Friday shifted Saradha Group chief Sudipta Sen and his deputy Debjani Mukherjee, the accused in the ponzi scam, to another jail in Siliguri district after the state government notified the formation of a special committee to carry out instant investigation.
Saradha Group chief and his deputy were produced in a West Bengal Court earlier on June 26 and remanded in police custody for 14 days.
