Panda, while reacting to the move, said, "I accept my party's decision and won't say anything to the media." He was today grilled for the second time by the CBI in connection with the Saradha chit fund scam.

The central agency had earlier interrogated the TMC leader, who was attached to the Saradha Group as a journalist, on December 2.

Panda had earlier been grilled in December, 2014 by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), also probing the multi-crore scam, in which several Trinamool leaders have been accused of wrongdoing.
