"Those persons who are roaming scot-free and still not apprehended in the Saradha scam case, should be arrested", Ghosh, who was arrested the Saradha chitfund scam, told reporters while he was being taken to Bangur Institute of Neurology for medical tests from SSKM Hospital.

Ghosh allegedly consumed several sedative pills in his cell in a bid to commit suicide.

In the last hearing when he was produced by the CBI in the court, Ghosh had threatened that he would be forced to commit suicide if the persons whom he had named in the Saradha scam case were not arrested by CBI.
