The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed five more chargesheets in five cases against 18 accused in connection with the “irregular deposit scam” in Assam.
A charge sheet has been filed in a special court in Guwahati. “These cases are being investigated by CBI Guwahati. These are apart from the four chargesheets filed by CBI Delhi, which is also investigating the Assam Ponzi investment scam cases,” the agency said on Monday. Among the 18 accused are two entities – Aphitits Holdings Private Limited (UHPL) and Brahmaputra Sanchaya var Vineyog Sahakari Sanstha Limited (BSBCSL).
In one case, the CBI has filed a chargesheet against Hemen Rava and Shankar Shah, director and manager of Aphitits Holdings. It is alleged that under the pretext of giving high returns on investment, Rao induced common people to sign notarized loan agreements and misappropriated the funds. The accused had promised to guarantee a monthly return of 6 percent or more.
Another charge sheet names Jiten Deka, Indrani Das, Sanjeev Deka, Himanshu Talukdar and Brahmaputra Sanchaya ve Vineyog Cooperative Society. The case relates to the deposits made by the society under the “Grilahakshmi” scheme. The accused falsely promised returns of up to 15% per annum through irregular deposit schemes. The agents allegedly offered 4% to 7% commission on the amount deposited.
In the third charge sheet, the names of Mainao Brahma, Deepankar Bhatt, Jyotishman Sharma and Sumit Burman have been named, while Rishiraj Gogoi and Joy Modak have alleged that they are involved in share trading under the framework of their company ‘Go Millions LLP’. A case has been filed in the fourth charge sheet for selling various cosmetics and other products.
In the fifth chargesheet, Shankar Kumar Biswas, Rofikul Islam, Dinesh Ch. Rai and Niranjan Kumar Malakar have been made accused. It is said that they arranged to collect deposits from various people through UPI/cash/cheque for investment in the name of ‘Titan Capital Market’ and did not deposit the amount received.
