NEW DELHI: The CBI has filed a fresh chargesheet against N Diwakar, alleged kingpin of the multi-crore co-operative group housing scheme (CGHS) scam, and eight others in a court here, accusing them of cheating and forgery for reviving a defunct society three years ago.

The chargesheet was filed in the court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sanjiv Jain who summoned the nine accused on July 24.
   
"Prima facie a case against the accused is made out and hence, I take cognizance of the said offences against all of them," the magistrate said.

The CBI, in its chargesheet, has alleged that N Diwakar, then Registrar of the Co-operative Societies (RCS), had connived with other officials and some private individuals to revive the defunct society, 'Sovinform Staff CGHS', on the basis of forged documents.

It alleged that they cheated the RCS and DDA to get the list of members approved for allotment of land on basis of forged documents and misrepresentations.

Apart from Diwakar, the chargesheet has nailed four other officials of the RCS-- Gopal Singh Bisht, Man Singh, Sanjeev Bharti and Saroj Dagar, who allegedly facilitated the attempt to obtain a DDA plot on priority basis.

They allegedly accepted the fake documents and deliberately avoided checking the veracity of various papers submitted for the society's revival.

Four others, Mal Chand Jain, Virender Kapoor, Sampat Mal Sethna and Pankaj Lunia are accused of submitting a fake list of 300 members of the society to the RCS and forging various other documents.
