West Bengal Textile Minister Shyamapada Mukherjee has arrived at the office of the Enforcement Directorate to be questioned in connection with Saradha chit fund scam case.
Talking to reporters, the minister said he was here based on a baseless complaint.
"It is obvious that it is a baseless complaint. There is no truth in it," said Mukherjee.
"I don't have anything to say. They have asked certain things from me and so I have come to hand these things over to them", he added.
Earlier today, the ED had summoned noted actor and film maker Aparna Sen.
Sen was also the editor of a leading Bengali magazine Paroma which was published by the Saradha group.
