Kolkata: As the
multi-crore-rupee Saradha chit fund scam rages on, the related
loss of life continued in West Bengal with three more people
linked to ponzi firms committing suicide, taking the death count
to nine.
The body of Jagdish Roy, whose son Bidhan used to operate a chit
fund firm and owed over Rs.1 crore to investors, was found hanging
at his house in North 24 Parganas district's Sodepur Sunday night.
His family alleged that angry investors had ransacked his house a
few days ago and assaulted him.
"He was deeply shocked by the assault and could not bear the
humiliation," Roy's daughter Dola said.
In Hooghly district's Chinsurah, Jayanta Sarkar, who used to run a
small deposit- seeking firm, hanged himself Sunday night. Police
said that over the last few days, Sarkar was hounded by angry
investors demanding their money back.
In another case of distressed agents and collective scheme
operators committing suicide, 30-year-old Sanjay Sarkar, an agent
with a chit fund company, ended his life.
Police have found suicide notes from both Jayanta and Sanjay
Sarkar.
Shyamsundar Mukherjee, a retired school teacher who worked as an
agent of the tainted Saradha Group, died following cerebral attack
in Birbhum district's Nalhati. His family blamed stress and
humiliation caused due to the collapse of the company.
His family said the 64-year-old was under stress and felt
humiliated to have joined a company whose promoter Sudipta Sen was
arrested and is being prosecuted for cheating.
