The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday attached assets worth ₹55.65 crore of Kolkata-based R P Infosystem, in connection with a money laundering probe.
The probe was initiated against RP Infosystem, the makers of Chirag computers, in an alleged bank fraud worth over ₹515 crore, an ED official said.
The ED had lodged a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) following an FIR filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
The probe into RP Infosystem was initiated after the Canara Bank filed a fresh complaint with the CBI against the company and its directors. The company has been alleged to have inflated its receivables and some of the debtors (as claimed by the company) such as GAIL India, Vincent Electronics, CEAT had informed they had no dealings with the company.
Two of the company’s directors – Shibaji Panja and Kaustav Ray — were also arrested in this connection.
