BMW Posted December 2, 2013 Author Report Posted December 2, 2013 2013 Saradha Group chit fund scam: The financial scam was caused by the collapse of a Ponzi scheme run by Saradha Group, a consortium of companies which was believed to be running a wide variety of collective investment schemes (popularly referred to as chit fund) West Bengal. The group collapsed in April 2013, causing an estimated loss of Rs200–300 billion to over 1.7 million depositors.

The Centre also launched a multi-agency probe to investigate the Saradha scam, as well as other similar Ponzi schemes. Group chairman Sudipto Sen, in a letter to the CBI, admitted that he had paid large sums of money to several politicians.

Sen fled after posting this letter on April 10. He was arrested in Kashmir on April 23, 2013. His close aide Debjani Mukhopadhdhay was also arrested for her involvement in the scam.
