The Economic Offence Wing (EOW) of the Crime Branch today submitted all relevant documents of chit fund company Green Ray International to the CBI, which is currently investigating the mega chit fund scam in Odisha.

The documents include computer hard disks and account registers of the company.

On April 19 this year, the EOW had sought permission of the Finance department to confiscate the properties of Green Ray International.

It may be mentioned that the Chhattisgarh police had arrested the Green Ray director Ayub Shah from Ajmer in Rajasthan on October 13 while he was planning to flee to Nigeria via Bangladesh.

The company had swindled over Rs 500 crore from around 1.5 lakh customers in Odisha and collected over Rs 200 crore from the people in Chhattisgarh.
