Sudip's bail plea rejected again

A local court on Saturday rejected the bail petition of TMC MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay, arrested over his alleged involvement in the Rose Valley Group chit fund scam.

District and Sessions court, Khurda, turned down Bandopadhaya's bail petition even as his lawyer pleaded that the TMC MP has been cooperating in the investigation.

Earlier, the CBI designated court had also rejected Bandopadhaya's bail petition.

The four-time TMC MP was arrested by the CBI on January 3 in Kolkata and brought to Odisha on remand.

Bandyopadhyay, the leader of Trinamool Congress parliamentary party, is presently lodged in Special Jail at Jharpada here.
