New Delhi, Feb 4 (IBNS) : Union Home Secretary Anil Goswami has been given marching order by the government on Wednesday, media reports said.

The move was made after Goswami had reportedly admitted that he had called up CBI officials while former Union Minister Matang Sinh, who was arrested last week, was questioned in connection with the Saradha scam.

"The admission came at his meeting with Union home minister Rajnath Singh here on Wednesday, during which he was asked to explain the allegations that he had tried to dissuade the CBI from arresting Sinh," The Times of India had earlier reported.

Matang Sinh was arrested in Kolkata on Saturday in connection with the Saradha chit fund scam.

The CBI had arrested him after questioning him for more than seven hours.

According to reports, he has been arrested on charges of criminal conspiracy, cheating and misappropriation of funds.
