Gensol Rs 978-Crore Fraud Case: ED detains BluSmart co-founder Puneet Jaggi from Delhi hotel

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has reportedly detained Puneet Jaggi, co-founder of all-electric cab service BluSmart, from a hotel in Delhi as part of its ongoing investigation into financial irregularities at Gensol Engineering Ltd. 

The raids were conducted at multiple company offices in Delhi, Gurugram, and Ahmedabad under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), according to IANS report.

The ED's probe follows a damning interim order from SEBI, which accused Gensol promoters Anmol Singh Jaggi and Puneet Singh Jaggi of treating the company as their "personal piggy bank". SEBI said there were no adequate financial controls and that promoters had diverted loan money for personal use or to related entities.

PFC files police complaint over fake loan servicing claims

Government-owned Power Finance Corporation (PFC) filed a complaint with Delhi Police’s Economic Offences Wing, accusing Gensol of submitting falsified documents to obtain loans for electric vehicle (EV) purchases. The company allegedly forged letters from PFC and IREDA to falsely show regular loan repayments. The deception came to light after credit rating agencies began verifying those letters with the lenders.

In its official statement, PFC confirmed an internal investigation is also underway under its anti-fraud policy to trace missing delivery receipts for EVs financed by the company. "PFC is committed to safeguarding its interests and ensuring loan recovery while upholding transparency," the PSU said.
