Employees of Channel 10, a Saradha Group operated TV channel, have reportedly filed an FIR against group owner Sudipta Sen and Trinamool MP Kunal Ghosh.

In the FIR, filed on Thursday night, employees alleged non-payment of salaries for at least three months.

Along with Sen and Ghosh, the complaint also names five other people in charge of the TV channel.

Ghosh was the group CEO of Saradha’s media interests.

While P.K. Ghosh, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime), was not available for comments, a section of Channel 10 employees confirmed that an FIR had been filed on Thursday night.

Kunal Ghosh, however, in an interview to a local TV channel said that he was neither the owner of the channel nor in charge of finance and accounts.

Three new cases of fraud have been filed against him by the police.
