block
Zee Media Bureau, Kolkata :
A day after he was released on conditional bail in the Saradha scam case, Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP Srinjoy Bose has resigned from the primary membership of the party, reports claimed on Thursday.
As per reports, Bose has sent his resignation to party chief Mamata Banerjee and has also resigned as Member of Parliament.
Bose was granted bail by the court after imposing three conditions that he would not leave the country, he would not threaten witnesses and he would respond to CBI’s summons, whenever served.
CBI sources later said that the agency would challenge the conditional bail
granted by the Alipore District and Sessions judge as bail granted to Bose under Section 420 of IPC is not tenable since he had been slapped with charges under Sections 409 of IPC as well.
Bose, the editor of Trinamool mouthpiece Jago Bangla and Bengali newspaper Sambad Pratidin, was arrested Nov 21 by the CBI for alleged criminal conspiracy, misappropriation of funds and deriving undue financial benefits in connection with the scam.
The assistant general secretary of city soccer giants Mohun Bagan, Bose is the first senior Trinamool leader to be granted bail in the scam.
Sports and Transport Minister Madan Mitra and former director general of police Rajat Majumdar – both important Trinamool leaders – are still behind bars. Suspended Trinamool Rajya Sabha member Kunal Ghosh is also in jail.
