Former Union Minister Matang Sinh, who was today arrested by the CBI in connection with the multi-crore rupees Saradha scam, has been admitted to a hospital after he complained of stomach ailments.
Sinh has been admitted to the NRS hospital after he complained of stomach pain, doctors in the hospital said.
Sinh was arrested in connection with Saradha Realty case on charges of criminal conspiracy and cheating.
He had been earlier questioned by the Enforcement Directorate too in connection with Saradha scam in Delhi.
Sinh was questioned for more than seven hours by the investigating agency, a CBI spokesperson said.
Arriving at the CBI complex here this morning for the first time to face questions regarding his business transactions with Saradha group chief Sudipto Sen, Sinh had told reporters, "Getting into a business deal is not a crime."
"I do not know Sudipto Sen," he said.
The former Congress MP from Assam said he had "submitted money to the Shyamal Sen commission", formed soon after the Saradha scam broke, to repay the investors.
