The accused were identified as Sanjeev Chandan, Sandesh Salgaonkar, proprietor, and MM Amare.
CBI had registered a case in 2016 on the complaint by the Project and Equipment Corporation of India Ltd (PEC), a Govt of India enterprise in 2016.
CBI said that it was alleged that a Partner of Mumbai based private company had obtained pre-shipment credit for the export of agricultural products from the complainant company PEC Ltd.
It was further alleged that the said accused entered into a conspiracy with two others including the Proprietor of another private company.
The other two accused had allegedly signed the Tripartite Agreements as Custom House Agent (CHA), without having a CHA License.
It was also alleged that they had even allowed the said partner of Mumbai-based private company to use their letterhead and stamps on some of the TRs which were actually not signed by them.
A major part of agricultural products for which the pre-shipment credit was taken, was not exported, leading to non-realization of the export proceeds. Thus, they were able to cheat M/s PEC Ltd to an extent of Rs. 36,03,85,086 (approx), which caused loss to the company.
After investigation, a chargesheet was filed. (ANI)
