The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested the managing director of the Angel Group of Companies from Mumbai on Friday in connection with chit fund scam.
According to the sources in CBI, the arrested MD Hasibul Haque will be brought to Kolkata on Saturday.
Acting on a tip-off, the CBI officers conducted a raid in the flat where Hasibul had been staying for the past few days and
arrested him on charges of cheating several people by taking money through different chit fund schemes
after assuring high rate of returns.
Angel Group of Companies is one of the 19 chit fund companies apart
from Saradha Group against which the CBI had initiated probe.
The group had collected crores of money from
different parts of the
state. The cases were filed arrested against them in 2014.
The central investigating agency is probing against all other groups that had collected money through chit fund schemes.
It may be mentioned that Rose Valley Group chief Gautam Kundu was also arrested. On Thursday, around 400 investors ransacked a
portion of a hotel near Minto Park as they didn't get their money back.
