ED Attaches Rs 61.53 Lakh of Assets in Ranggeeta Ponzi Probe
The move seeks to secure proceeds of a scheme that police say cheated investors of more than Rs 9.33 crore.
Overview
- The ED’s Panaji Zonal Office provisionally attached two residential flats, a fixed deposit and equity shares linked to Gohil Jaykumar and associated persons.
- Investigators say the unregistered Ranggeeta Enterprises lured investors in Goa and Gujarat with promises of up to 20% monthly returns.
- More than 2,500 people allegedly deposited money into the personal bank accounts of Jaykumar and his agents rather than any legitimate business.
- The scheme operated as a Ponzi structure and collapsed in April–May 2022 when withdrawal requests exceeded new inflows.
- The PMLA action follows an FIR by the Goa Police Economic Offences Cell, with asset tracing and recovery efforts continuing.
