The CBI has taken over another case against former Rajya Sabha member K.D. Singh and others, alleging cheating and misappropriation of investments in Alchemist Infra Realty Limited and Alchemist Township Limited.

The FIR was initially registered at the Kalyanpur police station in Kanpur in 2019, on a complaint from one Ashok Kumar Bajaj. It has been transferred to the CBI on the State government’s reference.

Among the other accused persons are Satyendra Kumar Singh, Sucheta, Jayprakash Singh, Brijmohan Mahajan, Chhatrasal Singh, Narendra Singh Ranawat and Nandkishor Singh. It is alleged that they cheated the investors on the false promises of allotting plots, villas and apartments.
