News India Live, Digital Desk: The detailed account of the dark exploits of notorious gangster Sujit Sinha, who is lodged in Jharkhand jail, is now being revealed layer by layer. This time this revelation has been made not by anyone else but Sujit Sinha’s wife Riya Sinha herself during police interrogation. Riya Sinha has confessed that her husband had invested crores of rupees recovered from extortion and levy in buying a hotel in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal.
Riya Sinha, taken on remand by Ranchi Police, broke down during interrogation and revealed the secrets of her husband’s entire criminal empire and money laundering network. His confession is being considered a major success for the police and investigating agencies.
How was the extortion money disposed of?
Riya Sinha told the police that Sujit Sinha’s network is not limited to Jharkhand only, but its wires extend till Nepal. He told:
- Big investment in Kathmandu: Sujit Sinha has bought a luxurious hotel in Kathmandu with crores of rupees recovered from extortion.
- Colleagues used to help: Many of Sujit’s associates helped him in the purchase and sale of this hotel, who manage his business while living in Nepal.
- Bought property in many cities: Not only Kathmandu, Sujit has also bought land and flats in big cities like Ranchi, Jamshedpur, and Bengaluru with the black money of crime.
- Everything in the name of wife: Police have also found that most of the benami properties and investments have been made in the name of Riya Sinha and some other trusted members of the gang, so that Sujit Sinha’s name does not directly surface.
Police found many important clues
After this confession of Riya Sinha, Jharkhand Police has become even more active. Police have found evidence of transactions worth crores from Riya’s bank accounts. Besides, many important information and property documents have also been recovered from his mobile.
Police suspect that Sujit Sinha’s gang may have links not only with Nepal but also with other countries. Now the police has started searching for those associates who are working abroad to launder Sujit’s money. The investigating agencies are now also considering taking the help of Interpol in this matter, so that the hotel and other foreign properties located in Kathmandu can be seized.
This case shows how criminals are now running their network not just on the strength of bullets and guns, but like a corporate syndicate and are investing in India and abroad to launder the money earned from crime.
