A special CBI court in Mumbai has recently accepted the closure report filed by the Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) regarding a cheating case of Rs 58 crore against local Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, Mohit Kamboj, alias Bhartiya, and others.
In 2020, during the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) regime, the Bank of India lodged a complaint with the Mumbai Police, accusing Mohit and others of defrauding the bank for Rs 58 crore. Subsequently, the case was transferred to the CBI for further investigation. The central agency had also summoned the accused for questioning.
Bhartiya, who owns a gems and jewellery business, approached the court seeking anticipatory bail in the case. However, the then MVA government, represented by public prosecutor Pradeep Gharat, opposed Bhartiya’s plea for anticipatory bail.
During the hearing, Bhartiya claimed that the money had been returned to the bank through a one-time settlement agreement with the bank authorities.
It is to be noted that the acceptance of the closure report marks a significant development in the case.
