CBI today filed its first charge sheet in Saradha scam case. The Central Investigating Agency has named scam kingpin Sudipta Sen, his close aide Debjani Mukherjee and suspended Trinamool Congress parliamentarian Kunal Ghosh.

A CBI official said in Kolkata today chargesheet has been filed against them in the Saradha Tours and Travels case before the court of the metropolitan magistrate.

The Saradha Tours and Travels was allegedly favoured in getting a contract from the IRCTC for providing logistics support to the “Bharat Tirth” project announced in the 2010-11 railway budget by the then railway minister Mamata Banerjee.

This was the first charge-sheet submitted by the investigation agency after it took over the probe of the multi-crore-rupee scam following a directive by the Supreme Court in May.
