The others named in the prosecution complaint are Sk Alomgir (Shajahan’s brother) apart from Shib Prasad Hazra and Didar Boksh Molla. The charge sheet has been filed before a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Kolkata. The CBI too had filed its charge sheet against Sheikh and some others this week.
Sheikh, the ED alleged in a statement, had “created a criminal empire revolving around land grabbing, illegal fish farming/trading, grabbing brick fields, cartelisation of contracts, collection of illegal taxes/levies, commission on land deals etc.”
