CBI filed a case against Anuj Saxena alleging that his company had bribed Director General of Corporate Affairs BK Bansal to ensure that he does not order an SFIO inspection against his company.
Businessman-cum-TV actor Anuj Saxena, famous for his roles in soaps "Kkusum" and "Kumkum", has come under CBI scanner in an alleged Rs 20 lakh bribery case involving Director General of Corporate Affairs B K Bansal.
CBI has registered an FIR against Saxena alleging that his company had bribed Bansal to ensure that he does not order an SFIO inspection against his company Elder Pharmaceuticals for charges of illegal collection of Rs 175 crore from 24,000 investors, diverting funds to companies abroad, and not making returns on due time, agency sources said.
Calls made to Alok Saxena, Director Elder Pharma, remained unanswered. The email sent to the ID given on the company's website also remained unresponded. Anuj Saxena, named in FIR, is believed to be abroad, the CBI sources said.
Saxena who is Chief Operating Officer, Chairman cum Managing Director, has not been arrested by CBI which has already taken into custody Bansal, middleman Vishwadeep Bansal and two more private persons.
The case emanated from complaints received by Registrar of Companies in the Ministry of Corporate Affairs from investors who had alleged that Elder Pharmaceuticals has collected over Rs 175 crore from over 24,000 investors under Companies' Acceptance of Deposits Rule, they said.
The company had allegedly lured them offering attractive rates of interest ranging from 9.5 per cent to 11.5 per cent to investors on deposits ranging from a 12-36 month period. Over 1000 such complaints were made to RoC, they said.
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs instituted an inspection by Regional Director (West) Mumbai which claimed the company had allegedly not kept 15 per cent of deposits in liquid form, accepted Rs 138 crore from other companies which was akin to accepting deposits among other acts which were against law, they said.
