The trail of the infamous Hiranandani Constructions provident fund scam case dates back to an investigation into illegal assets back in 2007 in which the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) raided the houses of two provident fund commissioners. However, during this investigation, they happened to stumble upon papers relating to the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) of Hiranadani builders.
“The CBI said that they started putting together all the information about the Hiranandani firm and their contractors to see whether they were paying EPF to their employees. “
It was found that fraudulent documents had been produced by the Hiranadani brothers, including false wage records of building site workers.
“Niranjan and Surendra had conspired with EPF officials and prepared bogus details of PF contributions. Such contributions were never made and the Hiranandani Group was allowed to get undue benefit.”
The CBI made a record by filing the longest charge sheet until this day: 45,373 pages.
