CBI
Lucknow/UNI: The Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI) has arrested two directors of a private chit fund company based at Asansol, District Burdwan in West Bengal from their hideout at Gomti Nagar on Thursday.
According to a CBI press statement here, the arrested persons were identified as Saket Banerjee and Kamaljeet Banerjee, both directors of M/s Global Infra Energy Limited.

It was alleged that the accused had entered into a conspiracy with other directors of the company and in pursuance thereof, the accused induced the common public with the promise of unrealistically high return on their investments, while claiming that the company was authorized to doing so by the statutory bodies- Reserve Bank Of India, Registrars of Companies, & Securities and Exchange Board of India.
It was further alleged that the victims, so induced, were made to part with their money by the way of investing in the various deposit schemes of the company, thereafter the said directors fled away without making payment of the maturity amount.
Both the arrested accused were produced before the Competent Court and were remanded to Judicial custody.
