New Delhi/Kolkata, September 6 (Udaipur Kiran): The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a chargesheet against Sahara India, its founder late Subrata Roy’s family members, and senior officials of the company in connection with alleged financial irregularities amounting to ₹1.74 lakh crore.

According to sources, the chargesheet was submitted before the special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Kolkata. The probe agency has accused Sahara of collecting crores of rupees from investors under the promise of “high returns,” but failing to repay them.

Family Members and Officials Named

The chargesheet names Subrata Roy’s wife Sapna Roy, his son Sushanto Roy, along with company executives J.P. Verma and Anil Abraham, among others.

Investigators have alleged that Sushanto Roy is absconding and has not joined the ED probe. The agency is now seeking a non-bailable warrant against him from the court.

Subrata Roy’s Death

The case continues even after the demise of Subrata Roy, who passed away on November 14, 2023, at the age of 75. He was considered the central figure in the Sahara group’s financial dealings.

The ED maintains that the massive scam was carried out under the guise of attractive investment schemes that lured lakhs of people, many of whom are yet to get their money back.
