Made frequent trips with Sudipta but never shared room

Saradha Group CMD Sudipta Sens close aide Debjani Mukherjee has denied having any intimate relationship with Sen.

Though I knew of the disaster looming large over the Saradha Group,I did not want to desert the captain of a sinking ship, Debjani one of the prime accused in the chit fund scam claims in a letter written by her in custody and released to the media by her lawyers today.

She has also sought to clarify that though she made frequent business trips with her boss Sen,she never shared a room with Sen but to my utmost bad luck people are gossiping against my chastity.

She insists that she was a sincere trustworthy employee. I never tried to override or cross limits nor had any intention to do so.

Debjani joined the Saradha Group in January 2008 in its tour and travels sector as joint executive and was posted in Guwahati at a salary of Rs. 15,000. She was promoted to the post of the director of the company in July same year.

She says trouble started for her when her boss started doing business in a manner that was against her principles. I started raising my voice against my boss and he,without considering my dedication towards the company,sacked me from the post of a director.

Debjani says she has been the director of five media companies till date,as without proper scrutiny it is impossible to be a director of a media house and if one has to replace me one should go through the same process which requires a lot of procedural complications.

She says her only only fault was that she did not not leave her boss midway.
