Kolkata, Oct 27: Trinamool Congress MP Ahmad Hassan Imran, the blue-eyed boy of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, is under scanner of Government agencies for his role in Saradha chit fund scam.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has recently interrogated Ahmed Hassan for the second time in connection with multi-crore Saradha scam. The agency was trying to figure out whether there was any underhand dealing with the Saradha Group besides his salary of Rs 70,000 per month which he used to receive from the tainted firm when he was a paid employee as an executive editor of 'Kalom', a Bengali newspaper.

Hassan owned the newspaper before selling off his shares to the Saradha Group at a consideration of around Rs two lakh, the sources said.
