Guwahati Aug 11: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a director of a Kolkata-based chit fund firm accused of defrauding investors of nearly ₹25 lakh in Tripura. The arrest follows a non-bailable warrant issued by the Special Judge (CBI), West Tripura, Agartala, on July 22 after the accused repeatedly failed to appear in court during trial.

The case, registered by the CBI on March 14, 2023, alleges that the firm’s directors engaged in cheating, criminal breach of trust, and defaulted on repayment of matured deposits along with promised benefits. A chargesheet was filed against the accused on September 28, 2024.

The accused was produced before a magistrate court in Kolkata, which granted a three-day transit remand for his transfer to Tripura. The trial in the case is ongoing.
