A chargesheet has been filed under the anti-money laundering law in connection with an alleged multi-crore chit fund scam in Jharkhand, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) said on June 8.
Eight accused have been named in the prosecution complaint, filed under criminal sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), including the main company - DJN Commodities, it said in a statement. The Ranchi-based special court took cognisance of the chargesheet on June 7, the agency said.
DJN Commodities and its proprietors - late Jitendra Mohan Sinha and Vishal Kumar Sinha - were booked by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) after studying an FIR filed by the Jharkhand Police under various sections of the IPC for “cheating” innocent people by investing in the chit fund company (DJN Commodities) and by assuring a “lucrative” return of 3-4% per month, the ED said.
