Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today declined comment on the release of Trinamool Congress heavyweight Madan Mitra who was arrested in connection with the Saradha scam about two years ago.
Ms Banerjee, who returned this morning from her eight-day visit to the Vatican and Germany, refused to take questions on the release of her former cabinet colleague who was yesterday granted bail by the Alipore court.
However, the chief minister's co-traveller Kolkata Mayor Sovan Chatterjee said Mr Mitra's arrest was "politically motivated".
