Having already grilled several officials of the East Bengal Football club in connection with the multi-crore-rupee Saradha scam, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has now sealed the accounts of the club's holding company.

Confirming the news, club's general secretary Kalyan Majumdar said the ED will be requested to defreeze the accounts so that it can make payments to the players and the club is able to function properly.

"As the ED has sealed accounts of our holding company (Kingfisher United East Bengal Club Private Ltd), it will not be possible for us to run the club. Therefore, we will be urging the ED to defreeze the account so that we may make payments to the players," said Majumdar.

While its office bearer Debabrata Sarkar is already behind bars being arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) which too is probing the scam, the ED earlier in the month grilled assistant general secretary Shanti Ranjan Dasgupta, and accountant Tapan Das as well as Majumdar.

The Sudipta Sen-owned Saradha Group had invested both in East Bengal as well as arch rival Mohun Bagan.

Several club officials including Sarkar's name feature in Sen's letter to the CBI that he had written before his eventual arrest.
