The Virar Police have filed its first chargesheet in connection with the House of Cards scam, but sources said that the Vasai Virar City Municipal Corporation (VVCMC) is yet to make any headway in the case. The municipal corporation had formed a 10-member inquiry committee to probe the role of its existing and former employees, whose alleged involvement and negligence helped the scammers.
The police investigation, however, has begun in earnest. After submitting a 3,420-page chargesheet, the Virar police will be filing a supplementary chargesheet in the multi-crore scam. Sources in the Virar police said that the investigating team has written a letter to the Income Tax (IT) department and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), urging them to investigate further, as they suspect the scam involves multi-thousand crores of rupees.
