PANAJI
The EOC, on June 2, 2016, had registered an FIR against GCA president Chetan, secretary Vinod and treasurer Mulla for allegedly misappropriating funds worth Rs 3.13 crore.
The trio were arrested in June 15 after initial investigation.
Johri is believed to have updated the the Enforcement Directorate through several documents which he has handed over over the funds supplied from the BCCI to the GCA. The interrogation which lasted hours, is likely to continue when Johri is summoned again as the ED attempts to get to the bottom of the alleged Rs 6-crore fraud. Sources in the ED have, however, remained tight lipped over the happenings.
Complainant Vilas Dessai, life member of GCA, in his complaint had alleged that Chetan, Vinod and Mulla had forged the documents and later opened a new account in the name of GCA and misappropriated the funds of TV subsidy sent by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to to GCA. They also withdrew Rs 26 lakh from the Federal Bank of GCA on a fake identity on the pretext of giving the money to a company namely ‘Hako Enterprise’ which was allegedly never given.
Earlier, police had revealed that all the three accused had denied the allegation against them. Police had also asked the banks to submit details of the banking procedure.
It was informed that there were 50 different transactions and that the money was withdrawn through self-cheques issued in different names.
All three, Chetan Desai, Vinod Phadke and Akbar Mulla are booked under section 408, 409, 419, 463, 464, 468, 471, 420, 120 (B) of IPC.
