Kolkata:
Assam-based filmmaker and singer Sadananda Gogoi was today arrested by the CBI in connection with the multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam on allegations of conspiracy.
Last month, Mr Gogoi was questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation or CBI for two days in connection with the case.
Mr Gogoi has, however, denied having made any financial transaction with the Saradha group.
Taking over the probe in West Bengal following a Supreme Court directive, the CBI has interrogated several high profile people and arrested East Bengal Football Club official Debabrata Sarkar and Kolkata entrepreneur Sandhir Agarwal.
The CBI has also repeatedly quizzed Bapi Karim, a former confidential assistant to West Bengal Sports and Transport Minister and Trinamool Congress leader Madan Mitra.
