Pirojpur: The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has submitted a charge sheet against seven individuals and two organizations for allegedly collecting and laundering Tk 101 crore through fraudulent investment schemes in Pirojpur between 2008 and 2021.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, CID officials revealed that Ehsan Multipurpose Cooperative Society Ltd. and Ehsan Real Estate and Builders Ltd. misrepresented themselves as legitimate financial institutions. They collected money from over a thousand people, including expatriate families, local residents, and even religious and educational institutions, by promising high profits.
Investigators discovered that director Ragib Ahsan, his wife Salma Ahsan, and five associates misappropriated the collected funds for personal use. The fraudulent activities led to over 100 cases being filed by victims across different police stations.
The charge sheet was filed under the Money Laundering Prevention Act. All seven accused are currently in custody.
