Sudipta Sen, prime accused in the Saradha scam, and his son Subhojit were remanded to judicial custody for 14 days on Thursday by a city sessions court in connection with money-laundering cases filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Sudipta, accused in the multi-crore Saradha scam, was Chairman of the defunct Saradha Group. The group, which went bust in April last year, had through various deposit-taking schemes mobilised money to the tune of a few hundred crore.
Sudipta was arrested in April 2013 and has been in jail since then. His son Subhojit was arrested earlier this year and has been in jail for one and a half months.
