TMC MP Kunal Ghosh has been summoned to the Bidhannagar Police station for interrogation in the Saradha Group chit fund scam.

Saradha Group boss Sudipta Sen and key aide Debjani Ghosh had said Ghosh had a role in the fraud.

A second FIR was filed against the Trinamool Congress MP by employees of the closed Bengali daily owned by the Saradha group for non-payment of salaries.

Ghosh offered to resign from the Rajya Sabha if probe shows his complicity in the chit fund scam. Police sources said the employees of the newspaper 'Sakalbela' filed the FIR against Ghosh.

A similar FIR was filed at the Park Street police station against Ghosh, Saradha group chairman Sudipta Sen and six others by 21 employees of television channel, Channel 10, run by the group, for non-payment of their salaries and for not depositing their provident fund dues.
