Dissident Trinamool Congress MP Kunal Ghosh was today questioned for nearly four hours after he was summoned by the Bidhanagar Police for the sixth time in a month in the Saradha chitfund scam case.
"The officials asked me a few questions. I answered them honestly. But, I don't think it would be right to disclose what I told the investigators," Ghosh said when asked whether he had revealed the names of bigwigs to the police, as he had threatened to.
Deputy Commissioner, Detective Department Arnab Ghosh said, "We checked and verified various inputs and leads that we have received during the investigation of the case."
"We may call him again as per the requirement of the investigation," the DC said.
Ghosh, who was CEO of the Saradha Media Group, had earlier threatened to disclose names if he was arrested in the chitfund case and demanded an inquiry by his party saying he had much to tell the leadership.
Ghosh was suspended from the party on September 28 for anti-party activities.
A few days ago, Somnath Dutta, a senior executive of Saradha media and a close aide of Ghosh was remanded to police custody for seven days in the case.
The Saradha scam which duped lakhs of investors came to light in April when group chairman Sudipta Sen was arrested along with two others from Sonmarg in Jammu and Kashmir in the same month.
