Saradha: Mitra says he's fit, ready to face CBI grilling

December 06, 2014 20:04

West Bengal Transport Minister Madan Mitra, who had been summoned by CBI for questioning over the Saradha scam but could not face it due to illness, today said he was now fit and ready to face the grilling.

"Now I am keeping well, though I need rest for some time more. Whatever it is, I am fit. I shall go to CBI whenever it calls me for questioning," Mitra said during an interview to a local TV Channel.

The Trinamool Congress leader admitted that he was suffering from tension to face the questioning. "I can't deny that I am having tension to face questioning by CBI. This is because I need some sort of preparation to reply to them properly to help them unravel the truth," Mitra said.
