CID is forcing Debjani to name Opposition leaders in West Bengal chit fund scam, says Sarbari Mukherjee

A fresh controversy has erupted over allegations by Debjani Mukherjee’s mother, one of prime accused multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam that her daughter is being forced by an officer from Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the West Bengal Police to name the Leader of the Opposition in West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari and CPI(M) leader Sujan Chakraborty as beneficiaries of the scam.

Sarbari Mukherjee, mother of Debjani Mukherjee, who is behind bars for the past nine years, has written a letter to the Central Bureau of Investigation ( CBI) in this regard. In the letter, the mother said that her daughter was being pressured to name the leader of Opposition parties. 

Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari took note of the developments and said in a tweet, “Disgrace, total disgrace! The once glorious CID has now become the paid janitor of WB’s Bua- Bhatija. CID is indulging in criminality for advancing the nefarious interest of the Banerjees by intimidating under trial prisoners to give false statements against WB Opposition Leaders”.
