KOLKATA: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Tuesday summoned noted painter Subhaprasanna in the Saradha chit fund scam.



According to reports, the agency had been looking into the land that Subhaprasanna had bought here to set up an art enterprise and had also questioned him last month about his dealings with the Saradha group.



Yesterday, the Calcutta high court had rejected the bail prayer of Saradha scam accused Sandhir Agarwal, who was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and is currently in judicial custody.



In a major setback to the Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal government, the CBI had last week arrested party MP Srinjoy Bose in connection with the scam.



Earlier this month, Trinamool Congress MP and Saradha scam prime accused Kunal Ghosh was hospitalized after he allegedly tried to commit suicide in jail.
