EC put Saradha scam tainted Madan Mitra on surveillance in view of poll in Bhawanipur

Kolkata, Apr 29 (UNI) Hours before the crucial fifth phase poll for 53 Assembly seats in West Bengal, the Election Commission today ordered strict surveillance on incarcerated TMC leader Madan Mitra, accused of Saradha chit fund scam, now admitted to the government owned SSKM Hospital in the city.
The EC's directive to the election machineries to keep watch on the former minister followed after a three-member BJP delegation demanded restriction on movement of Mr Mitra, a resident of Bhawanipur, an Assembly constituency from where TMC supremo and Chief Minster Mamata Banerjee is contesting.
EC's directive was to keep watch on Mr Mitra, who can use mobile and his audience will be restricted to his family members only in the hospital until vote completed tomorrow.
