A court here Wednesday denied Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member Srinjoy Bose, arrested in connection with the multi-crore rupee Saradha scam, bail and extended his CBI custody by three days.
Bose was presented before the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Haradhan Mukherjee, after the expiry of his Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) custody granted by the court Nov 22.
While Bose's counsel pressed for his bail on health grounds, the court ordered his extension of CBI remand by three days.
The CBI arrested Bose Nov 21, for his prima facie involvement in the Saradha scam on allegations of criminal conspiracy, misappropriation of funds and deriving undue financial benefits.
Bose is the second Trinamool Rajya Sabha member after Kunal Ghosh to be arrested in the Saradha scam.
