Kolkata: CBI, probing the multi-crore rupees Saradha scam, has sent notice to a city-based branch of Allahabad Bank seeking details of nearly 21 accounts of Trinamool Congress maintained with it.

"We had sent a notice the day before yesterday to the bank. We have asked for details of the accounts," a CBI source told PTI.

He said the notice had been sent to ascertain the quantum of funds maintained in these accounts and also the sources from which they came.

This was subsequent to the notice which CBI had sent to the all-India General Secretary of Trinamool Congress seeking details of the party's accounts in the first week of April.

The notice was sent to Subrata Bakshi who is now holding the party post after the exit of Mukul Roy who had fallen out of favour.

The agency had sought details of sources of income of the party during 2010-2013 and also the expenditure pattern.

Irked by CBI's move, Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP Derek O'Brien tweeted thrice "@AITCofficial Harassment continues. Lots of pesky questions on Trinamool accounts. "@AITCoffical Big parties & leaders amass billions, little guys get the questions. Before questioning us, question yourselves & your daylight dacoity to fund your multi-billion dollar election campaign. @AITCofficial Trinamool accounts are transparent, nothing to hide: Derek."
