Kolkata: Sudipta Sen is threatening to sing again. The Saradha Group chief said on Thursday he had more to reveal than what he had already told the CBI in a letter, his words coming as a threat to all those so far enjoying immunity because of their political status. Let the investigation be over. I shall reveal everything, the prime accused in the multicrore scam said at Bidhannagar court on Thursday . But the promise to open another can of worms didnt earn Sen, who looked haggard and had clearly lost his swagger after two weeks in jail, a breather. The court turned down his bail plea as well as those of aides Debjani Mukherjee and Arvind Chauhan, who were arrested along with Sen last month at Sonemarg in Kashmir. The trio was sent back to police custody for nine days in a case filed by theatre person-
MORE JAIL TIME: Sudipta Sen, Debjani Mukherjee and Arvind Chauhan sent to police remand for 9 days, judicial custody for 14 days in 2 separate cases MONEY TRAIL: Cops nd 500 shady rms in which Sen parked funds AMERICAN ANGLE: Info comes from rm that managed Saradha accounting data and fed in into Boston-based server
ality Arpita Ghosh. In a separate case filed by Kannoj Mandal, an investor, they were remanded in 14 days judicial custody .
The Bidhannagar Police has unearthed as many as 500 shady firms into which Sen channeled his ill-gotten money . The leads came during interrogation of officials of software company Web Spiders, which fed Saradhas accounts data into a Boston-based server belonging to a US company with whom it had a technical collaboration. We have traced nearly 500 companies where Sen parked his funds. Now, we are trying to find out if these companies are fake or they really exist, a senior officer at Bidhannagar police commissionerate said. Asked if all the companies were Indian, the officer said, At present, it is not possible to give details of the companies but they are spread across Boston, Auckland, London and Hong Kong. We are trying to take the help of Interpol to get details of these companies. Was misled: Lawyer, P 4

New Delhi: Another day , another time, this might have been an explosive disclosure. But even today , its quite a story . It relates to a dismissal of Sir Vivian Richards (just call me Viv), who was the Guest Editor for Times Sports on Thursday . Some will still recall the famous episode in which he broke down a door after being dismissed at Delhis Ferozeshah Kotla during an India-West Indies test in 1983. Richards recounted, Someone called me up the night before in the hotel. It was an anonymous call. He said, Mr Richards? You dont know me but if I were you tomorrow Id be careful of (the umpire). The next day , I got hit on the pads. The ball wouldnt have hit another set (of stumps). Kapil just sort of went aah (gesticulating disappointment) and I was given out. I couldnt believe it when I saw the finger going up. You never heard about matchfixing and all that stuff so I dont know what was going on then. Richards still has the trademark swagger that intimidated

opponents and electrified audiences the world over. But he doesnt chew gum anymore. He looks as broad-shouldered and athletic as in his heyday , and you half-expect him to pick up a bat and start swinging. These days, though, the original Master Blaster prefers to watch from the sidelines and dispense his considerable wisdom on the game. Whom does he rate as the
greater batsman, Sachin Tendulkar or Brian Lara? I never compare batsmen, he replied. But it has been a privilege to watch both of them and see what they have accomplished. And dont forget Ricky Ponting. And which does he rate as his finest innings. He looks you straight in the eye and replies, with quiet pride, Never going to apartheid-era South Africa.
