New Delhi: Trouble is mounting for senior official in the Home Ministry Anil Goswami who has been named by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for attempting to stall former union minister and Congress leader Matang Sinh's arrest in the Saradha scam.
According to sources, Goswami will have to clarify why he interfered in the scam probe. A CBI's Joint Director level officer is also under the scanner in the scam.
The CBI had informed the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) on Tuesday about an attempt by Goswami to stall Matang Sinh's arrest in the Saradha scam. Sinh had been arrested a week back for alleged criminal conspiracy, cheating and misappropriation of funds related to Saradha Realty, one of the companies of the group which is being probed by the agency.
Sources had informed that Sinh was called to the headquarter of Special Investigation Team in Kolkata where he was grilled by the team for over five hours before being arrested. Sinh also, allegedly, named many bureaucrats and reportedly, claimed he influenced them for many benefits including favourable postings.
CBI sources had said that the arrest became imminent as he was not cooperating with the investigation team on some important issues prompting the agency to take him into their custody during which another round of examination might take place.
