The broking firms had not provided information sought by investigators for the purpose of probe, he said. “The broking firms had claimed they did not have the information sought by us. We had to get the details from mirror image of the NSEL's server,” the official said requesting anonymity. On Monday, police filed a 9,100-page chargesheet in a court here against the five arrested accused, including the spot exchange's former CEO Anjani Sinha.
Four others named in the chargesheet are Amit Mukherjee and Jay Bahukhundi, both mid-level NSEL Executives, Nilesh Patel, Managing Director of NK Proteins and Arun Sharma, a film financier and CMD of Lotus Refineries. NK Proteins and Lotus are among biggest defaulters of NSEL.
An FIR was filed in September against NSEL directors Shah, Massey and others, charging them with cheating, forgery, breach of trust and criminal conspiracy, among other offences. The now defunct spot commodity bourse, promoted by the Shah-led Financial Technologies, has been facing problems in settling Rs 5,600 crore dues of over 200 member-brokers, representing 13,000 investor-clients.
