The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probing into the multi crore chit fund scam in the state today filed a preliminary charge sheet in connection with the fraud committed by chit fund firm, Nabadiganta Capital services Ltd (NCSL).
The charge sheet names six persons, including three politicians, for duping investors more than Rs 8 crore.
The politicians named in the document are Ramchandra Hansdah, sitting MP of ruling Biju Janata Dal from Mayurbhanj, former BJD MLA, Subarna Naik and Hitesh Kumar Bagarti, a former BJP MLA, all former functionaries of NCSL. The charge sheet has also named company CMD Anjan Baliarsingh and directors Pradip Patnaik and Kartikeya Parida, who are now in jail as under-trials.
The charge sheet, containing 110 witnesses and list of documents seized, was filed at the special court of CBI. CBI has slapped charges against the accused under several sections of the IPC, including 120 (B), 409, 420 of IPC and sections 4, 5, 6 of the Prize Chit and Money Circulation (Banning) Act, 1978.
After several rounds of quizzing the politicians were arrested by the probe agency on November 4 last year. During a raid on Hansda's residence last year, the CBI had seized Rs 28 lakh cash.
