Suspended Trinamool MP Kunal Ghosh attempts suicide

Kolkata, Nov 14 (IBNS): Suspended Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member Kunal Ghosh, one of the key accused in the multi-crore Saradha Group chit fund scam, attempted suicide late Thursday night, police sources said.

Ghosh was in Kolkata’s Presidency Jail since he was arrested in November last year.

Reports said Ghosh took 58 sleeping pills and then informed jail officials that he had taken them.

His stomach has reportedly been washed and he is out of danger now, hospital sources said. Ghosh is now admitted in the state-run premier SSKM Hospital’s critical care unit (CCU). His condition is serious now.

Earlier, he had threatened in a court on Monday that he would commit suicide if the “real culprits” of the Saradha scam are not arrested. Ghosh was the CEO of Saradha Group’s media operations.

Ghosh was the only Trinamool leader who was named in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in its first charge sheet in connection with the Saradha ponzi case.
