People in general have been cheated by the fraud company, he added. There have been instances of people committing suicide when all their life savings seem to have wasted and lost forever.
He also reiterated that the state investigating agencies cannot do an impartial enquiry and hence the case must be handed over to the CBI.
Former MP Dipak Ghosh questioned the ‘affinity’ of some of the leaders of the TMC with the the chit fund group.
