The Bidhannagar police, which was investigating into the case, however, filed chargesheets against Ghosh under four sections of the IPC during the day, Arnab Ghosh said.  

Kunal Ghosh was charged under Sections 420 (cheating), 406 (criminal breach of trust), 409 (criminal breach of trust by public servant, or by banker, merchant or agent) and 120B (conspiracy) of the IPC, he said.

“The evidence we have got indicates that Kunal Ghosh was involved in the conspiracy along with Saradha Group chairman Sudipta Sen and others,” the DC(DD) said.  “There is involvement and fresh evidence has been found against him,” he said.

“There are also complaints of not paying salaries to employees of the media organisations run by the group,” he said.

“Ghosh's involvement has been found beyond the portfolio (Group CEO of Saradha Media) he held,” the DC(DD) said, indicating his alleged involvement in the over Rs 2,300 crore ponzi scam.
