New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken over 41 cases related to unregulated deposit schemes in Assam, following a recommendation from the Assam government. Since assuming responsibility, the CBI has intensified the investigation, conducting searches at 92 locations across five states. This has resulted in the seizure of 24 mobile phones, 18 desktop computers, 7 hard drives, and 11 laptops.
During its efforts, the CBI has traced databases containing information on depositors who were misled into investing in these schemes. In a notable case involving AJRS Marketing Pvt. Ltd., the CBI arrested the main suspect, who had been on the run since the filing of the FIR. He was found hiding in Siliguri, where incriminating evidence was also discovered. The accused has been brought before the Court of the Special Judge (CBI Cases), which has granted the CBI custody for further questioning and investigation.
The CBI is dedicated to uncovering the full scope of these fraudulent activities and ensuring that those responsible face justice. The investigation is ongoing.
