Burdwan blast: 'No evidence of Saradha money deposited in Bangla bank'

December 27, 2014 21:40

Bangladesh Finance Minister Abul Maal Abdul Muhith today said there was no evidence that money collected by the Saradha chit fund group was deposited in any of the banks in his country to fund Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh outfit, which is linked to Burdwan blast, there.

"There is no evidence of Saradha money deposited in any Bangladeshi bank, as alleged, to fund the JMB outfit", Muhith told reporters on the sidelines of a programme of Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Kolkata.

His statement came weeks after Union Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh had hold the Lok Sabha in a written reply that the probe has so far not revealed that Saradha chit fund money was used to finance terror in Bangladesh, contradicting BJP chief Amit Shah's allegation of such a connection.
