West Bengal Transport Minister Madan Mitra, arrested by CBI in connection with the Saradha chit fund scam, was discharged from state-run SSKM Hospital this morning.
Mitra, who was released in the morning hours after his medical reports found him to be healthy, had been admitted to the hospital on December 19 after he complained of chest pain and respiratory distress at the Alipore Central Jail, a top hospital official said.
He was taken back to the jail.
