“Help should be sought in the probe from those who knew Sen, and received direct or indirent help of the Saradha Group, or know things in some other way,” he said, and gave 12 names including state Sports Minister Madan Mitra, besides Banerjee.

The other names included those of some MPs and newspaper owners, and Trinamool national general secretary Mukul Roy.

Mitra said law would take its course. “I am a minister. A probe is on. If I say anything, the probe may be affected. So I won’t make any comment.”
