The CBI is searching two premises, one belonging to Amal Bhattacharya and the other to his company Unix Infrastructure Pvt Ltd, in Kolkata in connection with a 2021 ponzi scam case, officials said on Tuesday.
The <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/court-rejects-cbis-plea-seeking-to-stop-broadcast-of-series-on-indrani-mukerjea-23336126" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Central Bureau of Investigation</a> (CBI) had filed a charge-sheet against Bhattacharya and his company in December 2022, and kept its probe open to investigate the larger conspiracy in the case, they said.
The searches, which started on Tuesday morning, are part of the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/tmc-leader-mahua-moitra-skips-ed-summons-in-fema-case-23335931" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">CBI's further probe</a> in the case, they said.
The investigation against the company began when its agents approached a deputy magistrate claiming that they have been tasked to raise money from people in the name of selling some plots of land in West Bengal's Bankura district.
The agents alleged that the firm was acting like a non-banking financial company without having any authorisation from the Reserve Bank of India or the government.
The deputy magistrate then ordered police to register an FIR, which was later taken over by the CBI on the orders of the Supreme Court to investigate ponzi scam cases.
