The Central Bureau of Investigation is probing the chit-fund scam following a 2014 Supreme Court order, about a year after the ponzi scheme collapsed in West Bengal and Odisha.
The probe into the the scam is on and the findings will be out soon, the HRD minister said.
"We are not silent. The inquiry is on and the result will be there and people behind the Saradha scam will go to jail. The investigation is on. Just wait," Javadekar told reporters here.
Several ministers and leaders of the ruling Trinamool Congress in West Bengal have been named for their alleged involvement in the scam case.
Former sports and transport minister Madan Mitra, TMC MPs Srinjoy Ghosh and Kunal Ghosh, former West Bengal DGP Rajat Majumdar and top football club official Debabrata Sarkar were arrested in connection with the case.
