CBI probing role of 'influential people' in Rose Valley scam

CBI today filed charge-sheet against Rose Valley Group and its then chairman Gautam Kundu and others for allegedly duping investors by luring them with higher rate of interests even as it continued to probe the role of regulatory agencies and "influential people".
CBI sources said the charge-sheet has been filed in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhubaneshwar.
The sources said in its charge-sheet, the agency has named Kundu, the then Managing Directors Ashok Kumar Saha and Ram Lal Goswami, besides Rose Valley Real Estate and Constructions, Rose Valley Real Estate and Land Bank, and Rose Valley Hotels and Entertainment.

CBI has alleged that these persons and companies were allegedly responsible for running "illegal" ponzi scheme in violations of the norms of RBI, SEBI and Registrar of Companies.
The agency alleged that they kept running the schemes "knowing fully well" that these were "commercially unviable" and continued cheating people by keeping them associated with the group.
The sources said CBI is still probing the role of influential people, regulatory authorities, money trail and larger conspiracy hatched by the accused persons to cheat the public.
