Saradha scam: Kunal Ghosh threatens suicide if others not nabbed

Languishing in jail for his alleged complicity in the Saradha scam, suspended Trinamool Congress MP Kunal Ghosh Monday threatened to commit suicide if others involved in the swindle were not arrested inside three days.

Appearing before the court of Metropolitan Magistrate Arvind Mishra, Ghosh said: "It is not acceptable that I will rot in jail and those involved will roam freely. I am giving three days' time, if they are not arrested, I will commit suicide."

Ghosh, who headed Saradha media arm before being arrested November last year, has been alleging the involvement of several leaders of the ruling Trinamool Congress including its top brass.

He also urged the court to disallow anyone from meeting him in the jail, lest he may be "dissuaded or influenced".

Asserting he was framed, Ghosh alleged the investigation was been influenced and demanded to know what action has been taken against those who started the ponzi schemes.
