The Central Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday arrested Arindam Das, a close aide of Saradha Group chief Sudipta Sen, in connection with the multi-crore scam.
According to a CBI spokesperson, Das was allegedly helping carry out the operations of Saradha group in South 24-Parganas district in West Bengal.
“Das had gone into hiding in August 2014 after the agency summoned him for examination,” the spokesperson said.
The Sardha Group, involved in various ponzi schemes, went bust in April 2013. Sen, along with Debjani Mukherjee, a close aide, were arrested later that month by the State police from Kashmir.
