Kunal Ghosh (born 20 June 1968) is an Indian politician. He is a member of the Trinamool Congress and a former MP, representing West Bengal in the Rajya Sabha.
Journalism
Ghosh worked for Channel 10, as well as several newspapers. Ghosh holds the position of "message editor" of Prabaha, the first private news magazine in Bengal. His first byline story was in Patrika of the Anandabazar newspaper group. He then worked on multiple papers, including Aajkaal's Khela Patrika. His work at channel 10 included the show "Ek Phone e Ek Lakh".
A first information report was filed against Ghosh at the Bhowanipore police station by employees of the closed Bengali daily newspaper Sakalbela for non-payment of salaries, and another at the Park Street police station by employees of Channel 10 for a similar reason. He was later interrogated by the police on these charges.
In 2013, Ghosh was accused in the Saradha chit fund scam. He was arrested by the Mamata Banerjee-constituted special investigation team (SIT) on 24 November 2013. Less than two months later, the TMC suspended him for six years for publicly criticising the party. Following this action, Ghosh repeatedly dragged the TMC chief's name into the Saradha Group financial scandal, one of the biggest political scandals in West Bengal. He had urged the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to interrogate Banerjee in connection with the scam and called her the ‘biggest beneficiary’ of the Saradha group's media operations.
Ghosh has reportedly returned ₹ 2.67 crores that he earned from Saradha Group as salary and for advertisements paid to him by Saradha Group while he worked for the media company.
He also holds the position of senior editor of Pratidin newspaper.
