The very first line of the press release that says that the state govt. had sent a list of at least 27 cases against the chit fund companies to the CBI for its investigation is utter false, whereas the state govt. had filed at least 37 cases against 24 chit fund companies, said Sudip Roy Barman today.Earlier on Tuesday, PWD Minister Badal Chowdhury alongwith the Finance Minister Bhanulal Saha protesting the Chief Minister Manik Sarkar’s possible involvement in Saradha chit fund scam, said that the CBI has accepted at least 5 cases amongst the 27 or its investigation. However, but today talking to the media persons at Congress Bhawan, Opposition leader demanded CBI probe in Manik Sarkar’s involvement in Chit fund companies. Manik Sarkar had attended the Saradha run daily news paper’s 1st anniversary program with the Saradha chit fund company proprietor Sudipta Sen at Agartala Nazrul Kalakhestra.
