scams.

leaders.

Ghosh said that he had definite information that these leaders are in league with ministers in Delhi have instructed the agencies to "block" him to ensure that "he does not say anything against

the BJP".

said.

"On the basis of the letter Roy should be arrested immediately," Ghosh demanded. He said in the letter Sen had named the person who had told him to sell the property owned by Sarada group to the

Alchemist.

Narada case. "If Bangaru Lakshman was arrested following a sting operation carried out by Mathew Samuel, then why Adhikari should be spared," he questioned.
