The Additional Sessions Court, Mapusa has rejected the bail applications of Vikrant Shetty and Rajkumar Maithi, who were arrested by the Enforcement Directorate under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) 2002.
The ED alleged that land grab accused Vikrant Shetty and Rajkumar Maithi have about Rs 7.31 crore in their bank accounts, all of which needs to be probed.
Both accused already have numerous FIRs registered against them by Goa Police’s Special Investigation Team (SIT). They were arrested by the ED on February 16 for allegedly acquiring immovable properties through fraudulent means.
The accused, suspected to be involved in the scam running to the tune of several hundred crores, were among many others who were booked afresh in another fraud, booked by the crime branch last week.
