The CID of Gujarat has issued notices to four prominent Indian cricketers in connection with a Rs 450 crore chit fund scam. The latter was alleged during the questioning of Bhupendra Singh Jala, the mastermind of a massive investment fraud who said these players had not returned the money invested.

Shubman Gill's Alleged Involvement

According to officials, Shubman Gill, the captain of Gujarat Titans in the IPL, had invested ₹1.95 crore in the scam. The other three cricketers had reportedly invested smaller amounts. Bhupendra Singh Jala's accountant, Rushi Mehta, has already been arrested, and further investigations are underway.

Ongoing Investigation Uncovers Alarming Details

CID has confiscated unverified account books and raided several places to collect further evidence. The preliminary estimate was around ₹6,000 crore, which was then reduced to ₹450 crore. It has traced a transaction of ₹52 crore in the unverified account books. The amount will only increase as the investigation unfolds.

Possible Judicial Implications

Officials said that if the accused are proved guilty, stern action will be taken. The investigation team is scrutinizing Jala's transactions and operations. As the heat of scrutiny intensifies, cricketing stars are under scrutiny to clarify their role in the scam.
