The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had submitted their fifth supplementary chargesheet in the Saradha scam to the chief judicial magistrate of Alipore court, but due to some technical defect, the court did not accept the chargesheet. In the supplementary chargesheet, the CBI named Manoranjana Sinh and Shantanu Ghosh along with Global Automobiles and Global News Network (GNN) India Private Limited. It also mentions the name of Nalini Chidambaram.

The supplementary chargesheet by the CBI stated,“during the investigation, it was disclosed that Saradha Group paid Rs.1 crore to Nalini Chidambaram, senior advocate, on behalf of Manoranjana Sinh&’s legal expense. Also another Rs.34.90 lakhs had been paid to Chidambaram towards drafting the agreement between GNN India private limited and Bengal Media.” Manoranjana Sinh had been arrested by the CBI on 7 October 2015 as she was accused of allegedly taking money from Saradha group chairman Sudipto Sen, cheating and being a part of the criminal conspiracy. As there were some technical faults, the CBI had asked the court to grant them one-and-a-half hours time to submit the supplementary chargesheet, but the court asked them to submit the chargesheet on Tuesday.
