KOLKATA: The supporters of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) in the Bengali film industry, led by actor-turned-MP Dev, on Friday took to the streets protesting against the CBI probe into the multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam.
West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee had led an unprecedented protest march on Monday and criticised the BJP Government at the Centre, calling the CBI probe a “witch hunt”. She had then asked the people in the film industry here to organise a protest march.
Several film and soap opera actors marched a short distance amidst high security by Kolkata police. A large number of people thronged the streets to get a glimpse of their favourite stars.
