No chit fund link in NIA’s terror probe

New Delhi, December 19

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has not come across any instance in its probes to date that indicates terror links in flow of funds from chit fund companies, Parliament was informed on Friday. The statement comes in the wake of a controversy after BJP Chief Amit Shah allegations that Saradha chit fund money was used in the October 2 Burdwan blast, which is being probed for link with Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) terror outfit.
“Saradha chit fund money was used in the Burdwan blast. The NIA is not being allowed to probe the blast properly. Hurdles are being created. It is being done in order to save TMC leaders who are involved in the blast,” Shah had said late last month at a rally in Kolkata, while attacking the Trinamool Congress. — PTI
