Indian National Investigation Agency (NIA) is set to launch an inquiry into allegations that funds could have been channelised to Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and that a Trinamool Congress MP might have had some role in it, reports UNB.
Investigation into the multi-crore Saradha scam has taken a new dimension with the NIA starting the inquiry into the allegations, reports The Times of India which branded Jamaat as 'Islamic terror outfit'.
The inquiry comes within days of Foreign Minister (FM) AH Mahmood Ali conveying his concerns to National Security Adviser Ajit Doval on September 19, only a day before the Bangladesh-India FM -level talks in New Delhi, said the report.
Within three days of Ali meeting Doval, a three-member NIA team had reached Kolkata to probe the matter.
According to sources, the NIA officers had initial discussions with their CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) and Enforcement Directorate counterparts.
