The PMO, which summoned Home Secretary Anil Goswami over the Matang Sinh issue, has been sacked

Anil Goswami had put forth his version before the PMO.

Earlier today, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh briefed Prime Minister Narendra Modi about allegations that union home secretary Anil Goswami had tried to stall the arrest of Congress leader Mantang Sinh in connection with Saradha scam.

Singh apprised the PM on the issue after talking to Goswami and CBI director Anil Sinha to get a factual picture about allegations that Goswami, a 1977 batch IAS officer from Jammu and Kashmir cadre, had interfered in CBI's work and made attempts to prevent arrest of Sinh on Saturday, official sources said.

The final decision will be taken by the Prime Minister who is now seized of the matter, they said.

Singh called the Home Secretary to his room in the morning and both of them remained closeted for nearly an hour.

After the meeting, Goswami refused to take any questions from the media. But NDTV, quoting unnamed sources, reported that he admitted speaking to the CBI on Matang's arrest.
