A second case has been filed against Trinamool Congress Member of Parliament Kunal Ghosh for his role in West Bengal's multi billion rupee chit fund scam, even as the death toll of suffering investors and agents rose to four.

The second case has been filed against Ghosh by employees of a Bengali daily run by the Saradha Group. The agent, who has committed suicide, has been identified as Swapan Kumar Biswas.

Reports said that he had deposited over Rs.4 lakh and was found hanging at his home in Purulia district late Friday night. Biswas'' family claimed he was suffering from depression after the group went bust and downed shutters across the state.
