New Delhi: In a blow to former union minister and Congress leader Matang Sinh, the Supreme Court on Monday refused to entertain his interim bail plea in connection with the multi-crore Saradha Group chit-fund scam.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had earlier arrested Manoranjana Singh, ex-wife of Matang Sinh, and businessman Shantanu Ghosh in regards with the same case.
According to media reports, Manoranjana allegedly took a staggering Rs 25 crore from Saradha Group chit-fund kingpin Sudipto Sen for selling off his channel.
The CBI had arrested Matang Sinh in February last year on charges of criminal conspiracy, cheating and misappropriation of funds related to Saradha Realty.
