NEW DELHI: The CBI on Tuesday filed two fresh chargesheets against 19 persons, including the kingpin and former Registrar of Co-operative Society (RCS) official Narayan Diwakar in the Rs.4,000 crore Co-operative Group Housing Society (CGHS) Scam.

The chargesheet filed in the court of Special Judge I K Kochhar pertains to Maya Vihar CGHS which was registered on April 22, 1972 and was liquidated on Jaunuary 10, 1979. It was later revived by Diwakar after reconstructing the file on the basis of false verification report submitted by the accused Assistant Registrars in his office, says the chargesheet.

The chargesheet also names as accused Assistant Registrars Yogi Raj and U S Bhatnagar, employees Ramnath, Kamal Singh, Prahlad Kumar Thirwani and private persons Gokul Chand Aggarwal, Naveen Kaushik, Ashwini Sharma and Sanjeev Bharti and 175 witnesses.

Conspiracy

Another chargesheet filed by the agency in the case of Anand CGHS Ltd in the court of Special Judge G P Mittal names builder Gokul Chand Aggarwal with six other RCS offcials namely Assistant officer Yogiraj , Assistant Registrars Faiz Mohd and Niranjan Singh, Auditor Kamal Singh, clerk U S Bhatnagar.

As per the chargesheet, the accused entered into a criminal conspiracy to revive the society in November 19, 2003 which was declared defunct in 1986 by using forged documents to get land allotment from Delhi Development Authority (DDA).

It was done with the only intention of cheating the DDA by getting land allotment at much cheaper rates as compared to market rates, the chargesheet said.

CBI has alleged offences under sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 420 (cheating), 467 (forgery of valuable security), 468 (forgery for cheating), 471 (using forged documents as genuine) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and other relevant provisions of the Prevention of Corruption (PC) Act, 1988.- PTI
