Prime accused in the Saradha scam, Sudipta Sen, had named several VIPs as complicit - some indirect connections, some passing references, but it is not clear if anything substantial will be proved against any of them. Sen, however, also named two key people who seemed to have played pivotal roles in bringing Saradha into existence and marketing it. Shib Narayan Das introduced the hugely profitable "money market business" to Sen, and Subir Das, the marketing head, helped him build it across Bengal, Odisha, Jharkhand and the northeastern states. Little is known of their whereabouts. In all the din surrounding Sen and his political bosses, the men who built Sen's empire seem to be getting away.
