Kolkata: Rose Valley Group owner Goutam Kundu has been admitted to SSKM Hospital after he complained of ill-health Tuesday while being in the judicial custody.

Mr Kundu was admitted to the government-run superspeciality hospital on Tuesday morning, sources said.
Hours before Mr Kundu was scheduled to be produced at the Bankshall Court for the hearing in Rose Valley chit fund scam, he complained of chest pain and high blood pressure.

As a result, Mr Kundu could not be produced before the court during the day. He has been lodged in the judicial custody after being arrested by the Enforcement Directorate and was also chargesheeted by it earlier.
