"Frustrated depositors and
agents on Saturday vented their anger by ransacking Saradha offices across West
Bengal.
An agent in Durgapur committed suicide yesterday as news of Saradha promoter’s disappearance broke. Depositors had apparently turned up at his door to claim their money.
The incident brought back memories of a similar crisis that gripped Bengal in the 1970s, when the Sanchayita chit fund went bust, leaving thousands in the lurch.
Reports of vandalism and violence poured in from across the state. Agents and depositors went on a rampage in Durgapur, Domjur, Siliguri, Kanthi and in some places there were clashes between depositors and agents.
Agents, who laid siege to the chief minister’s house yesterday, also landed up at the Trinamool Bhavan. Some claimed that proximity to the Trinamool leadership had lent credence to the Saradha Group.
While some claimed that Trinamool Member of Parliament (MP) Satabdi Roy was the brand ambassador, others said that the transport minister, Madan Mitra was the president of one of the employees’ union. Mitra."

KOLKATA,
MAY 6:
At
least two people involved in money collection schemes committed suicide in the
State here on Monday. With the two incidents of suicide, the death toll
following the Saradha scam has risen to over 10 now.
According
to the police, Jagdish Ray, a resident of Sodepur in the North 24-Parganas
district of the State, committed suicide after his family was roughed up by
some depositors a few days back. Jagdish’s son Bidhan was running a local
deposit mobilising company called Alex Infrastructure in the area.
In
another incident in Hooghly district of West Bengal, Jayanta Sarkar, a senior
official of another deposit taking firm Halo India Express allegedly took his
life. Police say Sarkar was being pressured by depositors for refund of the
money.
Following
the Saradha Group – that is alleged to have mobilised nearly Rs. 20,000 crore – going bust, deposit taking
companies and agents have been under pressure with investors demanding a
refund.
The stream of suicides in the
wake of the Saradha chit fund scam - the biggest financial racket to hit West
Bengal - continued Thursday with a 'ponzi' firm agent found hanging in
Jalpaiguri district.
Bubai Ghosh, an agent of a deposit seeking company of the I-Core Group, was found hanging in his house in Jalpaiguri early Thursday, police said.
