Barasat (WB), May 6: The chit fund scandal in West Bengal claimed another life today with the father of an agent allegedly committing suicide at Sodepur in North 24-Parganas district.
60-year-old Jagadish Roy, father of Bidhan Roy who was the agent of Anex Chit Fund, was found hanging at his home at Rishi Bankim Gar colony this morning, the police said.
Jagadish Roy had been distressed ever since the chit fund mess took a serious turn as many depositors thronged his house yesterday to demand money back from his son who was an agent of the company.
