New Delhi, Feb 3 (PTI): The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday arrested Bikash Das, an accused in the Tripura chit fund scam case, who had been evading authorities for nearly 12 years. Das was apprehended in Bhiwandi, located in Maharashtra's Thane district, officials confirmed.
Bikash Das had a reward of ₹20,000 on information leading to his capture and had been absconding since 2013, the officials said.
According to the CBI, Suchana Real Projects Private Limited, along with its directors, including Das, allegedly collected money from hundreds of investors by promising high returns. However, in 2012, the company abruptly shut down its operations without disbursing the maturity amounts to the complainants and other investors.
"The CBI has filed a chargesheet on January 21, 2025, against accused Sujit Das, Bikash Das, and the company Suchana Real Projects Private Limited, through its directors Sujit Das and Bikash Das," the agency stated in an official release.
The case highlights yet another fraudulent financial scheme that left investors in distress, as authorities continue their crackdown on such illegal activities.
