Bhubaneswar, Feb 12 (IANS) A Special Investigation Team of the CBI Thursday filed a preliminary charge sheet against chit fund company Micro Finance Ltd. in connection with the multi-crore-rupee chit fund scam in Odisha.

The charge sheet named five people including former CMD of the company, Durga Prasad Mishra, his brother Upendra Mishra and son Kaliprasad Mishra, CBI sources said.
