Kolkata: The Central Bureau of Investigation's Special Crime Branch, which is probing Saradha ponzi scheme scam, today said it will move a higher court against the bail granted to West Bengal minister Madan Mitra, who was arrested by the investigating agency.
"We will move the higher court seeking Mr Mitra's bail cancellation," the investigation officer dealing with the case told news agency PTI.
The officer said CBI would move the higher court next week.
Asked to elaborate, the officer, who was not present in the court hearing today as he was out of station said, "The Saradha probe had reached an advanced stage and Mr Mitra getting bail at this juncture would have the potential to jeopardise the probe process," he added.
In the supplementary chargesheet submitted by CBI in the court, the investigating agency had named Madan Mitra as one of the beneficiaries in the Saradha case.
A judge of Alipore court today granted bail to Mr Mitra, who had been under arrest for over ten months.
