Kolkata: IPS officer SMH Mirza, who was arrested in connection with the Narada case on Thursday, has been remanded to five days of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) custody.

Mirza will remain in the custody till Monday.

The CBI on Thursday made its first arrest in the form of Mirza who was seen accepting money in the sting footage of Narada News. The authenticity of the footage was not verified by IBNS.

In the same footage, several top level Trinamool Congress leaders were seen accepting money.

The sting footage was produced by Narada News ahead of the 2016 West Bengal assembly elections.

The footage had rocked the West Bengal politics with the opposition parties accusing the ruling Trinamool of being involved in corruption.

Since Mar 14, 2016, news portal- Narada News- released several sting operation footage, where Trinamool leaders, ministers, MPs and MLAs were exposed while allegedly taking bribes.

From the beginning, the Trinamool had claimed that the sting footage was doctored and a conspiracy of the opposition.

Two of the accused- Mukul Roy and Sovan Chatterjee- have also switched sides from the Trinamool to the BJP.
