Kolkata: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday filed its first chargesheet in the Saradha Group’s financial fraud with a metropolitan magistrate in Kolkata naming its chairman Sudipta Sen and only two officials of the enterprise as accused.
The others named in the chargesheet are Debjani Mukherjee, a Saradha Group employee who in April last year fled Kolkata along with Sen, and Kunal Ghosh , a Rajya Sabha MP, who was the chief executive officer (CEO) of the conglomerate’s media venture.
All three, who are currently in detention, have been booked for fraud, misappropriation of funds and criminal conspiracy among other offences.
The investigation will continue into the role of other people, CBI said in a statement.
The Saradha Group is one of eastern India’s biggest deposit-taking enterprises which ran aground in April last year.
