A city court on Friday remanded Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP Srinjoy Bose to judicial custody on a prayer by CBI, which had arrested him for alleged complicity in the multicrore Saradha chitfund scam.
Rejecting Bose’s bail prayer, additional chief judicial magistrate of Alipur Court Kingshuk Sadhu remanded him to judicial custody till December five.
Bose, who was in CBI custody since his arrest on November 21, prayed that he be released on bail as he was unwell and submitted that he would comply with any condition given by the court.
The CBI counsel opposing it prayed for Bose’s judicial remand claiming that he was an influential person and if released on bail could try o influence witnesses.
